I noticed recently that the average ~0.8s scan time on our filter cluster had jumped to just over 3s.

If you can duplicate this behavior on a manual scan of a test message, there are debug flags and a timing plugin that will help troubleshoot performance problems.

Thanks! It *was* reproducible with a given message, although it took re-reading the debug output several times (after a fair bit of "why is my debug instance not loading most of the stock rules?") to find the problem:

I had forgotten to restart one rbldnsd instance after moving the local URI DNSBL from a tinydns data fragment into rbldnsd.

And that rbldnsd instance is the one used by the first resolver in /etc/resolv.conf on both spamd hosts...

*headdesk*

(For the archives: If the HitFreqsRuleTiming.pm plugin doesn't report a regular rule occupying any significant chunk of the scan time, you've probably got a DNS issue somewhere.)
