But spamd is written in pure Perl -- there's not an ounce of C there.

So you're saying that invoking spamc, which involves a fork and exec,
followed by transmitting the message to the Perl spamd and getting the answer
back, is faster than calling the Perl API directly?  I don't doubt your
measurements, but they must have been done under some pretty strange
conditions.
