It's really very very very much faster to use a tmpfs directory for spool.
Here's my fstab entry on a machine with 2GB of RAM:
none /var/spool/MIMEDefang tmpfs
mode=750,size=256M,uid=defang,gid=defang 0 0
I have an inkling that recent versions of SA use /tmp as well - for things like
checking Razor/Pyzor - but haven't investigated as the server seems to be fine
as is.
Using tmpfs for the quarantine directory is NOT a good idea.
