'I took 41k non-spam mails and ran SpamAssassin on them (using the
mass-check tool), with no network tests enabled, and a HTML::Parser
also compiled with LLVM (and gcc, in the gcc instance).
Results of the timings:
GCC:
real 40m56.599s
user 64m44.586s
sys 0m59.644s
LLVM:
real 45m38.831s
user 71m14.218s
sys 1m20.882s
So rather less promising.
Still, an interesting start - see the original link for information on
where it needs to go from here. I think this might have a lot of
mileage if the actual internals were ported to LLVM style code. If
someone is interested in picking up this project, and maybe being paid
for it, please get in touch.'
