I'm running SA on RedHat 7.3 with ext3 using the spamd/spamc setup on a
Pentium 166 /192MB RAM /7GB IDE. The machine also runs apache, mysql, qmail,
and UW-IMAP.
It only processes about 500-1000 messages a day. But even on the meager
hardware, I average between 6-12 seconds processing time per message on any
given day. My guess is the variability is caused by, as others have
suggested, how fast razor, rbl's, and other external services are.
I'm sure you've already figured this out, but ... Use SPAMD!!! I've run it
both ways and averaged the processing. SPAMD is consistently about 4 times
faster.
Ahoy,
Jason
PS - Here is an ugly, but functional, shell script to average the spamd
processing time for each message on a given day.
grep "$1" /var/log/maillog | grep 'spamd' | grep 'seconds' | perl -e '$i = 0;
wh
ile (<STDIN>) { $i++; @fields = split(/\b/g, <STDIN>); $sum = $sum + @fields
[36]
; } print $sum/$i;
