Oh, OK, gotcha. So it only deallocates duplicate lines?
So in practice it probably won't free up much space. Is
there any way to turn this off so large files don't take
so long? If not, I guess the only other way would be to
keep track of the number of lines in a message myself,
and not run it through ClamAV if it's past a certain
limit. Not optimal, but doable. Thanks for the
clarification.
