I did some tests with it last night and found it uses up to 3 times
the amount of ram to process results as is the size of the log file,
and in our case that goes close to 500mb a day. Doing a simply sort
on any of those webmin columns means the perl code has to completely
run through the whole procedure of producing huge arrays in memory.

Completely unusable. However a lot of the perl code to actually parse
the courier logs is available in that webmin module so my thoughts
are to rewrite it so it produces an intermediate "thin" log file
format, similar to the in memory arrays but to a file, and rely on
that intermediate log file for producing viewable reports and stats.

FWIW. Maybe someone has already got "the right tool" ?
