Excessive cpu usage
Hello
I'm running mailman 2.1 on a linux machine. My problem is that the mailman qrunner daemon constantly consumes 65-95% of cpu time. Nothing shows up in the logs while this goes on. Any ideas of how to locate the fault?

The problem might be the message size. Mailman parses all the messages with python,who is a little unefficient.
For example, on my mailman machine, messages of size=300 KB required 300 MB of RAM for processing... and used up (+90%) the CPU (P-III-Xeon-550).
In my case, the solution was to reduce the message size,

Is there a massively large (like 20+ Meg) piece of email being processed for the mailman list? Like from root or something?

Arnar informed me in a private email that he has resolved the problem.
