This is exactly what ive been thinking of, as a way to sort rules so the most frequently matched ones happen first. (i dont know if it will actually save any time, as there will be a lot of overhead. but it might - eg i doubt courier rules have ever matched a message for me but my iptables rules hit something on every run) (i have a way to count matches already, - very untested - but im less sure of a simple algorithm to sort things. but seems like fun to think about. ) (will revist post bookworm)
