At this point, if I don't stop SA being a resource hog, I can't offer SA to
my users at all - I need SA to not process emails for 1000+ email accounts,
and ONLY process emails for those who opt in. .procmailrc's in the user's
home directory, which is probably the only solution in the current
codebase, won't work as previously mentioned.

Substracting 6/20/100 from the score won't reduce processing time.

I want to reduce resources, not add more with a SQL backend ;) ...

A few things:

 - my users are too dumb to know what the heck you're talking about.
 - I'd rather not increase my support calls for users who can't bother
   to read instructions on how to setup filters, nor for those who
   screw it up and start deleting all valid messages and then having
   them blame it on us. Yes, this will happen. No, I will not "try" it.
 - The goal of the initial email (and thus, the "feature") was to
   reduce resources by starting with 0 and "increasing resources"
   for only those who  tell us to "turn on" SA for them. It had
   little to do, technically, with creating an "opt in" system.
