Performance question:

I have an IMAP folder with 1500 spams. I convert it to a mbox format 
file, and want to learn this as spam. From what I see
spamassassin --mbox
is much quicker on learning such big files than
formail -n 3 -s spamc -u zmi -L spam
from that file (even tried -n 1 to -n 10). Can that be correct?

BTW, when I started with a -n value >1, I had up to 650 spamc processes, 
they seem to have waited for another spamd to become free, who wrote in 
his log 
Sep 30 10:10:08 power2u spamd[21192]: prefork: child states: BBBBBBBBBB
Sep 30 10:10:08 power2u spamd[21192]: prefork: server reached 
--max-clients setting, consider raising it

Obviously, there are more than 3 processes started, but why?
