Hi, all.

I hava a question about ClamAV 0.104.2 on IBM AIX7.3 system.
It takes time to scan PDF files by clamdscan.
it takes about 8 seconds to scan PDF file(total 645 page).
(sample file is here: https://www.uinet.or.jp/LPBB0010-1000000000.pdf)

# /opt/freeware/sbin/clamd -V
ClamAV 0.104.2/26663/Mon Sep 19 03:56:35 2022
# clamdscan /home/test/LPBB0010-1000000000.pdf
/home/test/LPBB0010-1000000000.pdf: OK

I think it takes too long to scan PDF files.
Could you tell me how to shorten the time?
