It loads the spamassassin perl modules on startup, and thus doesn't need to fork a spamassassin per mail, as it is already loaded.

It is written in perl and runs as a daemon (listening on either smtp or
lmtp), or a sendmail milter interface)
From the web page:
Best with Postfix, fine with dual-sendmail setup and Exim v4, works with
sendmail/milter, or with any MTA as a SMTP relay. 'Howto' for qmail
available as well.

Nope
The way mailscanner interfaces with postfix is a hack (need two copies
of postfix running, and mailscanner moves mail between the two queues)
amavisd-new runs as a postfix content filter.

From amavisd page:
includes support for 31 av scanners off-the shelf
since clamav is already in contribs, we could set up amavisd-new to use
it by default.
