Actually, you would gain a tiny bit -- if a spamc call happens at the moment
when spamd is dead and not yet re-listening on the port, then you'll have a
message or two not filtered (depending on load and timing).  If spamd re-reads
its config file without stopping listening on the port, then though it might
take a little longer for those messages to get processed which come in during
the reload, at least they will get processed.  Now in practice, who gives a crap
if one or two messages don't get filtered.  But still, it would be nice to knock
out http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469
