Might spamc/spamd gains from the fact that spamd pre-loads more things and 
caches certain internal stuff, which is shared among multiple spamd 
slaves, instead of kept into each MIMEDefang slave?

You've said to switch to embedded Perl to avoid those problems, so the 
answer probably is no.

Anyway, would it be possible to use the spampd API directly, instead of to 
call spamc? That way one could measure the speed factor and useage of 
resources better. (No, I don't volunteer ;-)
