Ouch, I don't do python (something about it
taking 10 seconds for
"Hello, World" to run on my VMS server). It sounds to me like this
is a good candidate for running either once a week, or once a month.
Sounds like Perl on my NSLU2. Two seconds to do a hello world, nearly ten to
run SpamAssassin over a single message.
That sounds like startup cost talking. It takes 10 seconds to run
SpamAssassin over a single message, but it probably takes 10 seconds to
run it over 100 messages. Start Perl, Load code, Compile code...
startup cost.
