I don't use SA and hadn't looked at sa-exim's implementation before now.
Make sure you set "SAspamcSockPath" to get to use the daemon instead of
parsing all the Perl modules for every spam received.
Otherwise, there's a little more overhead even then from sa-exim but not
enough to worry about on any modern system (reads a config file, exec's
another binary; on the same order of the work that Exim does routinely
anyway, so I don't expect it to be an issue).
