Probably because we have this pesky 1st Amendment thing here. Still,
lots of us in the States have developed a disturbing tendency to shout
down or (in recent years) shackle in legal BS opinions, thoughts, and
individual behaviors we don't agree with.
You can just ignore it if you wish. But I must feel obligated to defend
to the death your right to do so.

On my box the current system scores about 50 msgs per second (starting in
memory, of course).  While that can be a drag while waiting for one of my
full test runs to complete (one of those scores a message more than 120,000
times, and trains more than 30,000 times), I've got no urge to do any speed
optimizations -- if I were using this for my own email, I'd never notice the
drag.  Guido will bitch like hell about waiting an extra second for his
50-msg batches to score, but he's the boss so he bitches about everything
<wink>.

I haven't profiled yet, but *suspect* there aren't any egregious hot spots.
5-gram'ing of long words with high-bit characters is likely overly expensive
*when* it happens, but it doesn't happen that often, and as an approach to
non-English languages it sucks anyway (i.e., there's no point speeding
something that ought to be replaced entirely).
