My sentiments exactly.  Well said.

Okay, I'm watching these discussions - as I'm still truly scared of
upgrading Declude.

I just can't figure out the logic behind all the CPU consumption and why
certain process parameters are suspected to have detrimental effects.


Please verify my thinking:

A machine that needs to process a given amount of mail will require a
certain number of instructions, which are reflected in the total CPU
usage.
If several messages come in almost simultaneously, then I can either
process them right away using parallel processes, causing a short spike
in CPU use - or I can process them one by one, using up the same CPU
time over time and causing a few seconds delay in mail delivery.

Either way, the overall CPU consumption should be the same - just
distributed differently.


So - if the above is true, how do I explain the apparent inconsistency
where users report that the CPU consumption is considerable higher than
in the prior version? How can the various "process" settings make any
difference - at worst it should spike quickly and then be idle?

If the old Declude handled the amount of mail with moderate CPU use and
without causing noticeable delays in mail delivery to the users - then I
can't see how the same outcome suddenly should require x times the CPU
resources, no matter how inefficient the process settings are? What is
spending all this other CPU time on? Looping, looking for directory
content?

I changed the THREADS to 75 and CPU wnet down to about avg 50%.   I'll
try
WAITFORMAIL in just a bit.

I also noticed in my spool folder I have a new folder called "s" that
appeared with the time stamp of the new proc install.  There is nothing
in it; just a blank folder. I deleted it.

Randy try changing

WAITFORMAIL     1500

To

WAITFORMAIL     500

See if that changes the delay.

We upgraded to 3.0.5.11 tonight - big difference in CPU in that it's way
down from the 3.0.5.5 - but proc folder will accumulate approx 35-50
messages before it'll dump them to the work folder.  Do not see any
problems so far except for the second or two delay in this...

We have in our declude.cfg:
THREADS 50
WAITFORMAIL     1500
WAITFORTHREADS  1000
WAITBETWEENTHREADS      1

Dual Xeon 3.4Ghz 2GB ram  imail 8.05 declude, sniffer & invurbl

The issue is that without changing anything other than going to 3.05.11
this occurs

It appears that processing has changed

If I could get some idea from Declude about this. 

Maybe I have to change my declude.cfg?

It currently is

threads 20
waitformail 500
waitforthreads 1500
waitbetweenthreads 100
