Varnish Lurker is getting slower / Ban lists keeps increasing

[Olivier Hanesse]

Hello,

I got some news about this issue :

The "MAIN.bans_lurker_obj_killed_cutoff" value has increased from 0 to
"322451" in one update ! (i am polling this value every minute). The ban
list size was around 100k when this has happened.
And I can see at the same time, a drop of the "n_object" value (this is
normal and expected).

Are the stats used by varnishstat about the lurker "well" updated "every
minute" ? The fact that the statistics was only updated once is kinda
strange : the ban list size is higher than the cutoff value everyday :(

Regards

Olivier
