Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.4.2-6.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just noticed that two almost identical amavisd-new installations had
wildly different memory usages.

The only difference is that one system is i386, whereas the other amd64.

On i386, top reports:

 VIRT  RES  SHR CODE DATA SWAP nFLT %MEM   TIME+  COMMAND
58660  52m 5176 1024  46m 4700    9  5.3  0:01.94 amavisd (master)
59428  49m 1468 1024  46m 9176    0  4.9  0:00.00 amavisd (virgin child)
59428  49m 1440 1024  46m 9204    0  4.9  0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
59428  49m 1464 1024  46m 9180    0  4.9  0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)

Whereas on amd64:

 VIRT  RES  SHR CODE DATA SWAP nFLT %MEM   TIME+  COMMAND
 164m  95m 9016   12  83m  68m   12  9.5  0:02.93 amavisd (master)
 165m  88m 1408   12  83m  77m    0  8.8  0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
 165m  88m 1400   12  83m  77m    0  8.8  0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
 165m  88m 1372   12  83m  77m    0  8.8  0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)

Both were started a few minutes ago, so the difference isn't caused by the
64bit version having been running for a long time.

I'm having a hard time accepting this difference as normal.

Maybe this is a bug in perl?

i386:  This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
amd64: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
