I believe what you are asking is whether the spamd socket connection can be reused for multiple messages. The answer is no, each processed message requires the overhead of a new socket to spamd. To do what you seem to want to do would require a multi-threaded connection caching server to encapsulate the spamassassin/spamd objects. This is analogous to the mimedefang-multiplexor (and probably lots of other anti-spam software that uses spamassassin) that run a number of spamassassin objects in separate threads.
