What is the default local_scan timeout? If your machine is heavily
loaded, and you are scanning very large messages, it can take a while.
If your scanner can scan e-mail messages, you might want to disable the
unpack MIME option (I know Kaspersky can scan Exim messages as-is). This
really speeds up Exiscan, and the MIME unpacker can be thrown off by
improperly formatted messages and create 100,000+ empty files in the scan
directory. That takes a long time by itself, let alone the scan time.
