Its common for clamd and spamd to eat up alot of resources. This is
mainly becuase it does heavy caching.
I have almost 1/2 my ram being used for buffers and cached.

Hi everyone,
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)
clamd: 1 process consuming 21.7% consuming about 110Mb
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...
The system is Debian etch AMD_64
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?
Thanks,
Martin
