The official ones? Just the sanesecurity ones? Any particular DB from the

My problem isn't so much that it takes a while to load the signatures,
but that clamd (and thus the mail server) is effectively down the entire
time.
This has been a problem on every Sparc system I've ever installed ClamAV on and
that goes back quite a few years. I still use in on several Netra 500 mHz pizza
boxes. It is also quite a memory hole which is more related to the available
memory and number of sigs, so on memory constrained systems I've cut back on the
number of SS signatures. And at my peril, I might add, as they have long been
the most valuable in terms of results. And because of the dead time when
reloading I've cut freshclam to once a day. That has resulted in a net
improvement in detections because of the higher availability time.
