It depends on your environment. A few things it does off the top of my head: 1) prefork in general is better than fork-per-message wrt performance. I haven't done any testing to show numbers, but you can think about it easily: for 5000 messages, the old spamd has to fork() 5000 times, versus the new version which (with default values) has to only fork 6-10 times. the flip side is that the prefork version needs to backup/restore the configuration per message, and revert EUID, etc. 2) we can do things like persistent connections to the SQL server from spamd which will be a big improvement if you use SQL (see related ticket about that) 3) -m will work more correctly -- a pool of X processes are spawned and maintained. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
