Hi all,                                                                         
                                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                             
I have a problem and you may help me. I use amavisd-new with a postfix          
                                                                             
to burn spam. I have 3 machines which do this task. Two of them are fine        
                                                                             
but the third one does almost nothing.                                          
                                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                             
My cursed machine is a bi-xeon quad-core on freebsd 7.0. When I start           
                                                                             
amavisd, all child go in 'lockf' state. Good. When I start postfix, the         
                                                                             
machine process e-mail perfectly, CPUs are 0% idle. But, amavisd                
                                                                             
children begin to be slow, time to process a mail grow from 500ms to 18s        
                                                                             
and children are almost always in 'select' state.                               
                                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                             
Here, PCUs are 90% idle, hard disks are playing poker and swap space is         
                                                                             
not used. I think I have maybe something wrong this my network, but I test      
                                                                             
without firewall and with a local dns server and I have the same result.        
                                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                             
I give you a TIMING log exemple:

As you can see, amavisd spend time on:

I don't know that amavisd done in these 3 steps. So if someone can help
