What are the specs on your server? What options do you use with spamd? SA tends to be a memory hog. The more add-on rulesets and plugins you use, the bigger each process becomes. Usually, the limiting factor for SA is memory, not CPU speed. Check your memory usage when the system becomes slow. If it's swapping, lower the number of spamd children, restart spamd and continue monitoring. -- Bowie
