No, not yet because using domain sockets should perform better. I'll try this though, good suggestion! > Is it spamd that hogs the cpu?

Yes, it's definitely spamd who is hogging the cpu. As far as I can tell, it starts hogging right after (or when) the helper app (dcc or pyzor) is launched. And yes, attaching strace is a another good idea! Why didn't I think about that in the first place? ;-) I'll test and reply asap (that is tomorrow, I hope). Thanks, Walter
