It does look that way. I left procmail because I disliked its rule
syntax,
its totally regexp based matching system (ok for subject lines, ghastly for
email addresses) and the performance cost incurred by it rereading the
filter files from scratch on every message processed. I've got about 2000
filing rules myself - procmail starts to scale badly for that.

adjust the order of your rules so that the most likely matchs appear at
the top of the rc file

I'm aware of that technique. I expect to multifile my email; almost all
my rules are not match-and-stop, they're match-and-continue. I do have
some critical match-and-stop rules at the front, but they are few.
As an example, an email to me personally and also CCed to a list needs
to land in my inbox (because it is for my attention) but also in the
mailing list folder (for archiving and general well filedness). So,
match and continue.
