Heh, it seems it would be nice to make SA scan messages fatser. If I undersand your idea correctly, you want not to run regexp one by one, but write the state machine for all regepes and walk on this states by the mail, but... I undersand how this may be faster (liner time of the message size) if SA had one rexep for detecting spam. Now SA have muliplt rules that can be fired simultaneously. For this situation I can't imaging the way to write the state machine.
Another issue: it seems to me most time consuming operation - network tests. It takes about 10 seconds to scan mail on my machine with bayers and newtwork test with very little cpu load (it cleary shows network tests) and just few seconds without network.
