Hello, I'm having some trouble with sb_filter.py startup performance that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with. Invocation of sb_filter.py takes several seconds and spikes CPU usage. It seems that importing the Spambayes libraries takes a lot of time:
$ time python -c "from spambayes import hammie, Options, mboxutils, storage" real 0m16.708s user 0m0.456s sys 0m9.005s Importing other packages doesn't seem to produce this problem. For example: $ time python -c "from os import *" real 0m2.760s user 0m0.030s sys 0m1.531s I'm not a python programmer, so I can only speculate that this is not normal behavior. Can anyone shed some light on this? 16 second startup times are inconvenient when fetching a lot of mail. I've had this problem with both Spambayes 1.0.4 as well as 1.1a4. I'm running Python 2.5.1, compiled from source, on MacOS X 10.4.10. I'm currently using the ZODB persistent store but have seen this problem with pickles and DBM stores as well. The database is currently at 3MB. Thanks for your help. Cheers, John _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
