[clamav-users] Incremental updates and server memory

I guess that this would be a long term project ...

The malware databases are updated with cdiffs, which means that the
whole database does not have to be re-downloaded with each update.

However, the running daemon has to re-read the whole database from
disk (temporarily doubling the memory requirement). Would it make
sense to be able to load the cdiff and avoid reloading from sratch ?
