Thanks, I updated spamd to run as follows: spamd -d -D -q -x -L --socketpath=/var/spool/spamassassin/spamd.sock -m 6 -u spamd date ; spamc -f -U /var/spool/spamassassin/spamd.sock -u "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" < sample-spam.txt ; date Thu Jun 17 13:01:08 CDT 2004 <report content snipped> Thu Jun 17 13:04:28 CDT 2004 3+ minutes - better than 10, but still pretty dang long. This machine is a dual proc (2 2.4 Ghz Xeon) with a Gig of memory running very few other programs (mysql, apache, qmail), I can't believe that this is a hardware limitation. Any other thoughts? Josh
