An idea struck me as I added filter-rules entry #22... What about creating a "compiled" version of the filter? It could be something of the format headerfield<fs>expect string<fs>filename which should be considerably faster for filter to read than the full test of "if (to contains "howdy") then save /home/greetings". If you have 30+ filters, and the mail coming in happens to hit the last one, it eats up more system resources than if it could skip rapidly thru the file. Whatcha think?
