I was thinking that, particularly for people who trash messages over a
certain threshold and are worried about the SA overhead, a stop-counting

So, for example, for my personal mail I could set stop_counting at 7.0, once
a message hits 7.0 (with bayes) SA simply passes it along with a score of
7.0+ (to indicate it stopped processing) and is done.
As long as you do not have negative scores.
This has come up before, and I seem to remember that the cost of sorting
rules into order was considered more expensive than brute force and not
attempting this optimisation
But others may have better memories....
