Scott, is there any threshold for the number of custom filters vs the amount of time/cpu power required to parse such filters? I think that I may be passing it through to many filters before sending it out.

That depends mostly on the type of filters -- for example, a filter that uses BODY would take a lot more time to process than one that uses SUBJECT (since the body is typically many times larger than the subject). The processing for the filtering is incremental, so that adding the second filter would use as much extra CPU time as adding the 1,000th filter (unlike files in directories, for example, where you have major slowdowns around 500-1000 files in a directory, and it isn't incremental).
