In 2.1 and 2.1.2, I've experienced the internet slowing to a
crawl, and connectivity issues for both local and openvpn
users, when the proxy virus scanners are enabled. They work
fine for a while, but things seem to degrade quickly after a
period of use. A reboot can get things back to normal. 

This includes the http, pop3, and ftp scanners. At the
moment, I have the dns antispam disabled too, but I can't
remember if that was actually tested as a cause, or just
turned off when I was turning everything else off. (to keep
the users from complaining any more)

I can't imagine it being a memory leak, as programs like
clamav are widely used, and run rock solid in other
distributions. I use SME server from contribs.org to act as
either a spam/virus scanner for a couple of customers with
Exchange, or as a standalone web & smtp mail server for
myself and others. It runs spamassassin and clamav day in
and day out with no problems.

Maybe a disk cache filling up? I only wish I could enable it
all again and look for clues, but I would have to play with
live servers since I couldn't generate that much traffic in
a test environment. 

I'm not complaining - efw does great at content filtering,
firewalling, and has an excellent openvpn implementation,
and it runs fine otherwise. 

I may be wrong, but I don't think too many ppl are working
on the project full time, and I'm sure that those that are
working on it are overworked and underpaid. 

Kudos to them.
