Enabling TLS support in spamdyke won't affect performance at all.  When 
a remote server uses TLS, it must be decrypted and that requires the 
same amount of work no matter which process performs the decryption.  
Since that's already happening, simply shifting the work to spamdyke 
won't change anything.
