[Xitami] Xitami has slowed to a crawl

[Ron Ackerman]

Thomas,

I've been running AVG for over a year and it is not the problem, there is
something else going on. I'll keep stabbing away at it and see what I can
figure out. I know that there are some new viruses out there that may not be
in the virus definitions yet. One in particular infects phpBB and may infect
other php sites. I'm not running phpBB though.

Ron

Well, AVG scans any file that gets opened either for reading or writing for
viruses.  I never have had a problem with Xitami slowing down.

What AVG probably does is hook the CreateFile() API using a global hooking
mechanism (DLL).  If it leaks resources while handling the hook, it could
slow down the whole system, but not just one application.  Disabling AVG
won't remove the hook DLL.  Those things can be difficult to downright
impossible to remove.
