Re: [sniffer] Final beta (b2) for snfrv2r3

[Matt]

Pete, I haven't been following this thread closely but latest generation SCSI drives can be below 4 ms seek times as rated by their manufacturers. FYI, I haven't seen any issues with the persistent Sniffer beta run as a resource kit service besides some expected brief delays according to the way that processes when traffic is less heavy.

Anybody else remember when a high performance hard drive had a seek time just under 30ms ?? _M At 06:01 PM 4/7/2004, you wrote: If thats all that happens during the first setup timer than you do have some performance issue on a production machine. My production mail server is not too beefy and does somewhere around 120k+ a day.

Yes... that seems about right. When a persistent server is running the rulebase is almost never reloaded. Only two significant things happen during the setup time as measured by Sniffer: 1) Loading the rulebase, 2) locating a job to process (directory scan + locking). The drop seems to indicate that the rulebase reload has stopped as it should. That only leaves the directory scan and a couple of rename/create operations. _M -- ===================================================== MailPure custom filters for Declude JunkMail Pro. http://www.mailpure.com/software/ =====================================================
