The speed increase is enormous. I twice got 3000 Mails in one hour because we had an obscure mail loop; amavis (old) kicked the machine to death (flaky motherboard/RAM), on the same machine amavisd did it's job properly (with at least 3x throughput).
Ah! As I wrote, my only amavis experience comes from the amavis-perl version as bundled in SuSE 8.0 Professional. I admit, the hardware it has to run on is not the most sophisticated available in the market (old Pentium 133 from the junkbox, 64MB). But as I only needed a mailserver for my family, I didn't want to invest in a new server. The change to avmilter sure improved the performance a lot. I wonder if SuSE 8.1 comes with amavisd, or still with the slooooow amavis-perl version? This might just help me decide it is time for another donation to SuSE and perform an upgrade...
