The database load process reads signatures and uses the data to populate a

themselves could only be modified by a single thread at a time, with a mutex
around each trie. There might be some performance to be gained by using
multiple threads. I'm not certain. Definitely a bunch of thread safety code
would need to be written.
I guess many of us are just running too old hardware. :)
Here's a comparison between my mail server and identical config running
