ClamAV 1.0.7: clamscan and clamdscan on Ubuntu 24.04.1 (LTS) is really awful slow

[MarkyMarkDE]

clamscan => 0103.6/7 (LTS) 42k Files ~ 45 mins. (great time!)
clamdscan => 1.0.7 (LTS) 42k Files 2 hours 56 mins. or 176 mins. and clamscan has relative same times.
I do not/never scan my whole computer, I scan only specified Folders in /home/ partition.
This is really awful slow.

I don't think we need another ticket on how slow clamav is.

We already have:

• This generic complaint about it being "awfully awfully unbearable slow": Since version 0.105 the scan is unbearable slow #590
• These complaints about 0.105 being slower than 0.103 (still the same basic gripe you have):
  • Problem with slow clamscan #1375
  • Image file scan takes longer with clamav version 0.105 or later. #877
• This complaint about 0.104.1 and newer being much slower for a specific file than 0.104.0: Clamav scan MS Word file is ~20 times slower #715

Its okay, I just wanted to inform about this circumstance in ClamAV 1.0.7, because this problem persists here as well.
Sorry, my ticket wasn't meant to be a "gripe".
42.000 Files are a big amount, but older Versions could scan it much faster, that's all.
Please don't feel personally attacked!

No worries I will be careful with my synonyms. Perhaps 'gripe' came off too strongly. I think it is a fun word.

All is fine, maybe I understand some too literally, you know, I'm not native English/American 😉.
I really appreciate your work and kind support on this non-commercial project!
