Use the embedded Perl feature of MIMEDefang and use compile_now() from
SpamAssassin. That way, the SpamAssassin initialization is done once.
fork() on Linux (and Unix in general, I believe) is very lightweight.
The SpamAssassin stuff in memory will be shared by all the threads.

I do this, and ... unless I'm very confused ;) ... it saves TONS of
memory.
