My spam collection is currently 53 messages totalling 342 KB (min 1.9 KB, average 6.5 KB, max 42KB). This entire collection runs through spamc in 49 seconds. Spamc is is running on a Thinkpad R61i (1.4 GHz Core Duo, Fedora 9) using 100Mb/s ethernet to talk to spamd for this test, with a script invoking it for each test message. Spamd is on an old (866 MHz, 512 MB) NetVista running Fedora 8 patched up to date as of 3 hours ago, so its using Perl 8.8. In addition its running named, so RBL lookups etc are cached on the same box. I hope these figures give you something to work on. Martin
