For instance with prior to my upgrade to 2010 and the newer pa version I was seeing scan times like below: Email: 99 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: 6.57 AvgScanTime: 14.80 sec Spam: 40 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: 26.68 AvgScanTime: 11.94 sec Ham: 59 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: -7.07 AvgScanTime: 16.74 sec Now they are in the range of: Email: 34 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: 3.06 AvgScanTime: 27.26 sec Spam: 9 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: 24.33 AvgScanTime: 27.77 sec Ham: 25 Autolearn: 0 AvgScore: -4.60 AvgScanTime: 27.08 sec so it appears as if most all IO functions are affected. How would I get the newer version to test? Chris -- KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
