Hello list,

I'm playing around with sa-compile in an attempt to improve performance,
but I have a couple of questions that I can't find answered in the online
docs.

1) After compiling, my compiled ruleset is stored in
/var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/5.014/3.004001. Do I now need to remove my
rules from /etc/mail/spamassassin/ so that they aren't loaded in twice?
Running spamassassin -D, I can see my un-compiled rules still being
loaded, but perhaps spamassassin does some tricks to skip over these rules
if it finds a pre-compiled version?

2) If I do need to remove my uncompiled rules form /etc/mail/spamassassin,
what/how much should I be removing? For example, clearly I can't remove
v320.pre as this contains the Rule2XSBody loadplugin command.

3) If it's correct to keep my uncompiled rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin,
what happens if these rules are modified? Does spamassassin spot the
change and invalidate the compiled rules, or will it carry on using the
compiled version (until I recompile) ?

Cheers,
Pete
