Description:   Opened: 2006-01-08 03:32 0000 
I'm using SpamAssassin (spamd/spamc via fetchmail/procmail), and noticed that
even with default config, it can cause quite a heavy cpu load at times. Since I
receive a lot of mails (or rather, spam) but want my system to be responsive
nevertheless, I decided to simply lower the spamd priority using nice.

I "implemented" this by adding a SPAMD_NICELEVEL setting to /etc/conf.d/spamd,
and passing this value to start-stop-daemon --nicelevel in /etc/init.d/spamd.
I'm not attaching a patch because this change is trivial. If you want a patch
nevertheless, please comment.

I think it'd be nice to offer such a configuration setting for all daemons that
are likely to be CPU intensive.

thanks for the tip, commented into the conf.d file that gets installed
post-emerge.

looks like the conf.d file was updated, but no changes to the init script were
made.

Andreas.Klauer @ metamorpher.de: please attach your patched /etc/init.d/spamd
file. thanks.
