Well the timings I did locally on that simple email confirm what everyone else has been stating. Uvscan is slower than clamd. Either I have been transposing these two timing all this time or one of the clamav/clamd updates improved things. Going by everyone comments it sure seems like I have been transposing these numbers :/. These tests are all on a 64 bit platform with 64 bit uvscan and clamd btw. # time /usr/bin/clamdscan /tmp/sample-nonspam.txt real 0m0.012s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.001s # time uvscan /tmp/sample-nonspam.txt real 0m0.659s user 0m0.559s sys 0m0.078s # time /usr/bin/clamscan /tmp/sample-nonspam.txt real 0m1.931s user 0m1.732s sys 0m0.178s Even testing on a real email shows similar results: # time uvscan /tmp/Documentation.eml real 0m0.655s user 0m0.561s sys 0m0.071s # time clamdscan /tmp/Documentation.eml real 0m0.705s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.001s # time clamscan /tmp/Documentation.eml real 0m2.380s user 0m2.187s sys 0m0.193s Thanks for setting me straight.
