[vps-mail] Spamassassin scantime huge : over 150 secs.

[Jean-Charles SAVELLI <jcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I operate a VPSV2
I've been operating SpamAssassin (with ClamAV)
for a year. Spamassassin (3.1.5) is configured on a per user basis;
There are about 60 accounts each with their spamasssin configuration file.
Other than minor tweaks to the user_prefs and
.procmailrc files, spamassassin runs with the default settings.

Yet for about two  month I noticed that the
server was reaching its max number of process limit (75).
So a month ago I upgraded from VPS V2 1000 to VPS
V2 2000 with a max number of process limit 150

I now reach this limit every day.

The email load taken on a daily basis has not increased significantly
allthough I admit I cannot be sure the instantaneous pattern has not changed

What I am sure of is that the spamassassin
scantime can be huge during a mail arrival peak
(min 20 sec and up to over  to 150 secs.)

The result is that the number of processes starts
piling up and the 150 limit can easily be reached.

Any idea would be appreciated
