SpamAssassin slows it down much more.  The vscan stuff is FAST, and
running as a Milter prevents it from even getting in the door. 

Since most of my large mail is generally klez and friends, this speeds
up the SpamAssassin stuff by design. 


I like the vscan stuff, and McAfee updates the DAT files at least
weekly, although I have the update_dat script from ports try every day
to get new ones.
