No (well, unless you modify the code.)  It spools everything in the
same directory, regardless of size.  You can certainly use tmpfs if
you like.

Actually, on Linux, it makes hardly any difference.  On Solaris, though,
you'll notice a slowdown.

The basic infrastructure is there.

We offer a commercial product called CanIt-PRO that lets you manage
all these preferences via a Web-based GUI.  http://www.canit.ca/

If you want to stick with the free software, I think you'd be wasting time
writing code to parse a configuration file; it's much easier to edit the
Perl filter directly.
