While I didn't keep any records, I did note it was considerably
"lighter". It is after all, written in C, not perl. The following
timing is representative.

Jan 31 19:45:13 omega clamsmtpd: 100057: accepted connection from: 127.0.0.1
Jan 31 19:45:14 omega clamsmtpd: 100057:
from=owner-postfix-users@postfix.org, to=rlfrank@paradigm-omega.com,
status=CLEAN

We've used it for several months with no problem. Since we never see
more thn 10,000 mails per day, it is fast enough to be used here as a
before-queue content filter. It can also be used as an after-queue
content filter or a transparent proxy. The down side is that it only
works with clamav. No other AV or spam filters.
