Yes, but the prefork method will have a much lower fork/sec rate than
the fork-per-message model.  For example:

using the defaults of 5 children and 1000 messages per child before
exiting...  assume 5000 messages go through:

fork-per-message will do 5000 fork() calls, once for each message.

prefork will do approx. 10 fork() calls, 5 at the start, and approx. 5 at
the end (depends if each child got 1000 connections evenly distributed...)

Really?  How so?  The code I put in reuses the children all the time,
and I didn't get rid of anything spamd already did.
