Subject: SA 2.63 on Win XP slow as molasses

I got SA working on XP about a month ago. Since then it has worked beautifully. I'm at about a 0% false positive and maybe 1% false
negative. (I used SAproxy for a long time, and had a lot of spam to learn from.)

I'm using SpamGrinderProxy (with its internal filters turned off), Spamassassin 2.63, ActivePerl 5.6.1, Net::DNS 0.12, and NMAKE
1.50.

It was always slow. Somewhat slower than SAProxy, and a lot slower than just getting my mail through the normal means. Within the
last week or so, it has been slowing down more and more, until now I can't use it to get mail anymore at all. Things sit and sit
until my connection times out. It may get twenty emails, it may get 7, or 15, it's never repeatable. However, every time it stalls,
I can go straight to my POP server instead of localhost and get all my mail in a snap.

Any suggestions as to where to look, or requests for more info?

TIA,

grant

There is a C++ version for Win32 coming real soon, the guy wrote SpamCPP and
SpamDPP.
Win32 people can run spamc and spamd with ActiveState perl, no more needing
cygwin.
It requires perl 5.8.3 and it'll probably be released soon..

That vb version of WinSpamC I wrote is not good for large loads, I should
put a notice, "Not for Business Use!"...

Wow, I was thinking about writing my own SpamD for Windows using Delphi
and active state's PerlEZ.dll or make an ActiveX object for the Perl
portion and not use PerlEZ.dll. Though, I was slowed down when I read
that PerlEZ can create multiple interpreters, but it can only run one at
time. This kind of defeats part of the purpose of SPAMD. Though, I
guess, not reloading a single interpreter is a lot better then loading
it each and every time? Apparently, the if you make an ActiveX object
using the Perl Dev Kit, you can somehow run multiple ones in threads.
Though, there is mention of blocking, that I haven't quite deciphered
yet.

Anyway, whose doing this SpamDPP? Do they have an estimated completion
date? I will certainly volunteer to test it.

Thanks
