Hello,

i know that load over 1 is too much, but questions is why.

In normal messages are scanning from 2 - 5 seconds (qmail-scanner,
clamav, sa) when problem occurs it take about 30 - 120 seconds to scan
one message :(

SA, clamav are from distro (debian testing) other (vpopmail, netqmail,
qmail-scanner) is compiled.

If it occurs more often, is better to debug (i will turn on DEBUG in
qmail-scanner, debug in clamav and sa), but there is no possibility to
 anticipate this behaviour.
