Scott -
	The problem I had seemed to be that MD wasn't actually talking
to clamd. (Do you catch the EICAR text file with clamd enabled?) It
would make sense that MD processed significantly faster if it's not
incurring the virusscan overhead at all. Maybe we could have someone
with a working MD<->clamd setup try your speed test and report the
difference in MD time between clamav and clamd...
