Hi Jason (and all :), the client/server arrangement (using spamc/spamd)
provides several orders of magnitude better performance then the
spamassassin perl script.  Spamc/spamd comes with SpamAssassin so there is
really no reason to not use it.  Spamc is a drop in replacement for
spamassassin, and it interfaces to the spamd daemon.  If spamd exits for
some reason spamc will just pass your mail through (not drop it as was the
default in very early versions :)

Cheers,
	-Rob
