Hello, I passed 10,000 files listed in the file to clamscan and clamdscan. I see very big difference on 4 cpu bare metal machine. Why is it? I am using clamav 1.0.7. clamscan -f large_files.txt - 3 mins 5 seconds clamdscan --fdpass -f large_files.txt - 9 seconds Notes - For clamdscan, I am *not* using -m option. - For clamdscan, without "--fdpass" it would give "permission denied" errors. I understand that first 20-30 seconds or so I see clamscan is loading virus definitions. Even without that, the difference is difference is very big. What accounts for it? Thanks in advance, -Neel. _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
