Hi, gang. Is anyone else running milter-greylist on OpenBSD and, if so, how's the new 3.1 branch performing? In our environment (OpenBSD 3.9 on i386), we see a substantial (geometric-scale) slowdown in the time required to load the greylist.db file on startup, which is of particular concern when that file grows, as ours does, to hundreds of thousands of entries, or more. greylist.db lines m-gr 3.0 startup m-gr 3.1.1 startup 1,000 0.06s 0.03s 5,000 0.11s 0.15s 10,000 0.20s 1.05s 20,000 0.33s 6.71s 35,000 0.58s 22.05s 50,000 0.80s 44.62s 75,000 1.16s 101.12s The slowdown seems to be isolated to the dump_parse() routine, but I've been unable to figure out why, and Emmanuel suggested that I post to the list for assistance. Any ideas out there? Cheers, Erick.
