Maarten,

This is very concerning, and the details you’ve provide are quite helpful.  Thank you for investigating.

Hopefully we can figure out why the newer daily.cld/cvd is scanning significantly slower than before. Any other details you can provide would probably be helpful.  If you’re aware if any specific file types are causing the issue, or if all files appear to scanning slower that will also help.

Subject: Re: [clamav-users] Scan very slow

We've noticed a marked increase in scan times over the last couple of weeks as well. From the look of it, there's something in the daily file that's causing it. Whether this is similar to the safebrowsing issue (where the ordering of entries in the file caused a 3000% increase in time) is unclear.

It was first trial. But after restarting clamav-daemon result changed
as following.
