Hi I was measuring how quickly could SA [spam assassin] process spams when several SA processes are run in parallel over separate mbox files. I used a 8 core machine. Below are the numbers when I forked different number of processes.
Fork = 8; Rate = 57 msgs/sec Fork = 4; Rate = 44 msgs/sec Fork = 1; Rate = 22 msgs/sec I ran freshly build SA with Bayes and DNSBL turned off. Why am I not seeing a linear increase in the throughput? Is a file locking creating the bottleneck? If yes, which particular file is being locked? If no, what could be the reason for this? thnx -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Parallelizing-Spam-Assassin-tp24751958p24751958.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
