and it's magnitudes faster

clamscan in combinaton with large 3rd party signatures is terrible slow 
because it needs to do the full initalization for every call - that's 
the same why you use spamd instead pipe every mail to a spamassassin 
call because your server will mostly spend it#s resources for startup 
stuff which can be long running
