Hi Mark,

Sorry about the delay in responding.  I hadn’t looked at my clamav-users filter 
this morning.  Just investigating now.  Will respond when I know more.

Subject: Re: [clamav-users] Scan very slow

Also CC'ing Micah directly as the mailing list would appear to be offline (at 
least lists.clamav.net<http://lists.clamav.net> isn't responding to http 
requests anyway)

It looks like scan times have gone through the roof. As Oya said, they're still 
considerably higher than they were a couple of months ago, but today's scan 
time is insane.

Yesterday's scan using
0.101.2:58:25409:1554370140:1:63:48554:328
took 7m 3s

On the same hardware, scanning the same read-only disk image, with today's scan 
using
0.101.2:58:25410:1554452941:1:63:48557:328
the scan time has jumped to 26m 15s

This is the longest it has ever taken to scan this volume (cf my previous email 
of 25th March)

Is there anything that can be excluded?

Best regards
Mark

Thanks Oya for the update.  We will continue to investigate the signature

    Hi Micah

    It seems that the  scanning slow down issue of this time has been solved
    at some level with CVD Update of the other day.
    However, there is still big discrepancy in between the current condition and
    the last condition in one month ago.

    Date                Files               Scan time
    2019/02/15  2550338         08:53:57
    2019/03/15  2612792         19:22:54
    2019/03/26  2634489         18:13:56
    2019/03/27  2637201         18:10:05

    We know the improvement of this time is due to the details of CVD, because
    we did not make any change on the user's system.
    We are going to try some tuning for scanning.

    We like to know if you still have some room to make further improvement
    for this slow down issue.
    Thank you for your help, in advance.

    Best regards,
    Oya

this past Saturday ( https://lists.gt.net/clamav/virusdb/75279 ) and in the 
last two updates have been re-adding them with more specific scan target types. 
 We’re now investigating some other optimizations we can make for the next 
major ClamAV release to improve scan times but at present we don’t have any 
other leads for signatures that may be slowing down scans.
