I had a program that would be able to do this sort of test in about 15 seconds on 50,000 emails with 600 rules. I generated an automata from the ruleset, then simulated it over the email input. Thus scaling it up to 5000 rules wouldn't degrade performance. The thing I like about the design is that if the write-test-debug cycle gets down to ten seconds, you can almost interactively write rules. You can also write a program to make guesses for speculative rules and only report if they do fairly well.
