I'm sure this is due to the large increases over the past month or so of new
signatures being posted, but several ClamXav users are reporting seeing
update sessions similar to the following on a frequent basis.

> Fri Dec 28 13:12:19 2012 -> ClamAV update process started at Fri Dec 28

So it would appear that you may be seeing a major impact on your mirror
network caused by the necessity to often download the entire daily.cvd.  Not
a huge deal for the user (15 minutes to update in the above example), but I
thought you might want to know about it.

The only question I have is what is the limit on the number or size of the
.cdiff files?  It would appear to be running at less than a days worth now.
