Remember this, when we wrote about the large memory footprint of clamd?
Well, it no longer happens, clamd is swapped out soon after a mail fetch run:

I did nothing in the end. Perhaps some update altered the way clamd behaves regarding memory :-?
Unlikely I would say. Besides, it isn't really the job for an application to determine when to be swapped and when to be out :-)
Your situation does look weird - about 5Gb of free memory, so although clam isn't in use at the moment, there's no reason for it to be swapped out.
Highly unlikely, true. That's why I asked for more eyes ;-) There was 5 GB free because I had closed firefox. It seems to me that an application may mark a memory not swappable, which clamd did. Guessing, it is possible that they now don't do that. But thinking after sending the post, it might be that I had intentionally disabled antivirus scan in amavis-new and I have forgotten. I'll try to verify now, fresh tea in hand. The file to look at would be /etc/amavisd.conf. It is dated Aug 11; this thread was in August, so it matches. And yes, the section seems commented out, so I'll undo. Then clamd can indeed be swapped out, just that it hardly does. Well, then the idea about starting the service on demand gets back to the table. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
