[clamav-users] scanning of a 1MB exe files takes up to 130seconds on a single core xeon cpu - is that normal?

[Stefan Bauer]

Hi folks,

root at mx1:~# clamscan scan335019041109350063746475.pdf.exe
scan335019041109350063746475.pdf.exe:
SecuriteInfo.com.Adware.Generic4.BBFB.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 10454740
Engine version: 0.101.2
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.12 MB
Data read: 0.90 MB (ratio 0.14:1)
Time: 135.895 sec (2 m 15 s)

Why is this so slow? I see almost 100% cpu. But seriously on a 1MB file 2
mines? What could cause this high load? Can i speed this up a bit with kind
of cache or something?

thank you! :)
