[Mimedefang] graphdefang cores with large amounts of data

[Whatley, Lee (CBA)]

I am having a similar issue with graphdefang on my server.  The summary 
db is now over 160MB and processing takes 10 to 15 mins (running once an 
hour)  I'm afraid if this keeps escalating the server will start 
tempfailing mail when graphdefang is running because there won't be 
enough memory or CPU.  I can nice graphdefang to take care of the cpu 
issue, but then I'll have to start worrying about when the point will 
come where it takes longer than an hour to process and running it once 
an hour is not doable anymore. Also graphdefang is using upwards of 
500MB of RAM each time it runs.  Is there going to be a point where I 
can't run it without thrashing the machine?
