Hello,

I used to post here a few months ago about the engine's memory consumption.
The newer versions give me satisfaction, but during the process of database
reload (after a freshclam update), the network can be unreachable during a
few minutes.
To explain the situation quickly, I use a gateway using HAVP with ClamAV,
which has 128Mo of RAM. I launch freshclam at night, but still this point
can be annoying.

Reading the code, I saw that the operation of database reload is synchronous
: during the database build, the scanner socket cannot be reached until the
old base is substituted by the new one. I think about a way to make the
process asynchronous : the substitution would occur only when the new
database is built. But instead of doing this for myself only, I would like
to know if this functionality could be interesting for you and could be
added in the future versions.

Thank you for your answers/suggestions.
