dspam_clean should NOT be used with the hash storage driver. "cssclean" should 
be used for cleaning the hash driver.

For most users using the SQL purge is enough. However... dspam_clean offers 
additional functionality that the SQL purge does not have (the "-p" switch from 
dspam_clean is something that the SQL purge does not offer).

No. dspam_clean does not need any of the SQL based purge scripts.

Yes. It works on it's on.
Yes. It's less efficient in terms of speed compared to the SQL based purge 
script.
No. It can be more efficient in terms of cleaning then the SQL based purge 
script.

I don't understand what you want to say here. Could you rephrase your question?
