If you read the logs carefully, you'd notice that there's different number
of signatures, thus, the database did change.

That's not the poing.

I think that virtual/cloud server has to be cheaper than power usage of the
existing server (plus housing, if you pay for that one).

Why everyone needs two minutes for this task, independent from which
hardware is used, is a puzzle to me. Anyone who has the clamd .cvd
files loaded on a fast SSD storage ?

I think it needs fast CPU, that's why it takes time.
all the signatures have to be parsed and indexed in memory and that's huge
number of signatures.
