Possible perl problem?
For some time I have been trying to determine why spamassassin
performance on our server hasn't been as rapid as it should be. I think
I've discovered a possible cause. The server can be busy with lots of
things and not degrade SA performance greatly. But, let another perl
process run such as webmin's miniserv.pl or even pflogsumm.pl and
spamassassin slows down markedly.
Since this isn't strictly a spamassassin question, I was hoping someone
might point me in a direction where I could find some answers. TIA!

Actually, the problem seems to be cpu usage rather than memory.

Are you perhaps running out of memory and having to swap to disk? Perl can be
pretty memory hungry.
