To some it means the difference they could make
By loving others, but across most it sweeps
As all they might have done had they been loved.

I have the toaster running for a bit now and I am concerned about the memory usage of clamd and spamd. It is slowly, but steadily increasing and has currently reached the following: spamd: 3 processes consuming a total of 34.7% of the memory (in this case about 176Mb) So just these daemons consume more than 50% of the memory? And apparently no end in sight... Now, this being a Xen virtual server, I could easily up the memory from 512Mb to 1Gb or more, but if numbers will continue to increase, that would only postpone the inevitable death by swap... Perhaps anyone here has experienced similar things and can recommend a solution or give advice on what a 'normal' memory footprint for spamd and clamd would be?
