MIMEDefang carries the SpamAssassin object around for the life of the mimedefang
process. If the process is waiting for a clamscan or clamd socket scan, it's not
using the SpamAssassin object.
If the mail can be rejected by clamav-milter, that mimedefang process will never see
the viral email. So the next email in line can be scanned using the SpamAssassin
object in that mimedefang process, rather than spawning another slave and an
unnecessary SpamAssassin object.
