Since declude/spamchk are all CPU and network intensive, I doubt that would have a very noticeable effect. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gufler Markus Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] improved performance using ramdrive?

Markus, Interesting idea. A quick search of Google turned up some of the same suspicious types :) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg72969.html The following product looks like it might work well. It goes up to 4GB and has an auto-save feature. http://www.cenatek.com/product_ramdisk.cfm I've never tried this stuff though, so I can't really comment on how it works. Stability would seem to be paramount. Matt Gufler Markus wrote: Hi all, Anyone has experiences using a ramdrive for all declude exe, config and filter files?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] improved performance using ramdrive?
Anyone has experiences using a ramdrive for all declude exe, config and filter files? It wouldn't help very much. The main reason is caching -- Windows will automatically cache frequently used files, so all of those files should be in memory already. If the spool directory was on a RAM drive, though, it could speed things up quite a bit (the RFCs say this is not allowed, though), as the information constantly changes. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.

Frederick - I suggest you try the new feature in the latest intrim release that has these commands avail: SKIPIFWEIGHT and MAXWEIGHT Place your compensatory filters [ones that reduce scoring] in the global config ahead of the other filter files. For me frankly most of my filters do not even now run - the dns tests take care of the load so cpu use is way down -Nick From: Frederick Samarelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [Declude.JunkMail] improved performance using ramdrive?

If the spool directory was on a RAM drive, though, it could speed things up quite a bit (the RFCs say this is not allowed, though), as the information constantly changes. Why would the RFCs care where the spool is? Performance wise, that would be a great use if you had the funds.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] improved performance using ramdrive?
Some ramdrives autosave at configurable intervals. I see this as not being that much worse than enabling caching on a hard drive or array, although it probably doesn't make much sense unless you are pushing the capacity of your server.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] improved performance using ramdrive?
Agreed. It would take a heavily loaded server to show any difference in processing speed; much the same rationale as using different disk arrays to separate data, spool, logs, and swap on a heavily loaded server. I originally tried the RAMdisk on the aforementioned database because I was skeptical that the NT OS was making good decisions about what to cache. Currently, I haven't used a RAMdisk anywhere; the current Windows OS flavours and fat Compaq RAID controllers have been good enough.
