I am running about 5,000 messages a day, ASSP is running on a G4 mac

curious how this compares to other folks running ASSP. Complete avg
is about 5.4% but my concerns are the peaks. I may switch to an
intel based unit. Anybody else have good stats for peak hours? I got
them by restarting assp at 10am and running till 4pm.

I am running assp 1.5.1 final with clam 095RC2 and I also am on a G4
mac mini I show peaks at 47% and average 4% for around 4K messages
per day for the last 2 days. I have been restarting a couple of times
per day to rest release candidates. For me this load is higher than
normal because I have package maker running at the dame time so I can
build a final distribution so memory and cpu is being eaten by others.
I can say this after running assp for quite a while.
1) real memory is good and cuts down load
2) a lightly filled disk is good. Or run something like TechTool to
unfrag the disk so that virtual memory operates faster.
3) ASSP doesn't hog CPU like EIMS. We see 100% load peaks all the
time with EIMS where EIMS totally takes over the machine and will not
let anything else run even in an untimely fashion. I ran stress
testing a while ago and found that even when assp was peaking other
processes ran fine.
Also remember my initial defaults leaned toward score and tag. You
can cut down load by blocking on various tests like bad helo
I had hope to get the final out today but it looks like tomorrow - <sigh>
