The cost of inode is negligible, it then doesn't change for the lifetime of the process. The advantage of placing the socket under /var/spool/postfix/ is that one can make that work for chrooted processes. If chroot is not and will not be used, then other locations are available and may be slightly advantageous. -- Viktor.
