I doubt that will help anyway.  The majority of the time spent in SA
is in the pattern matching, and that's mostly done in C already
(inside the perl interpreter).  The glue stuff around that is not
going to speed things up much.

The real killer is in reducing the startup time.  If you invoke SA
once per message it will kill you.  If you have pre-existing SA
instances to which you hand off your message for evaluation, you're
much better off, and shouldn't take much time processing the messages
(aside from DNS lookups).
