You're correct.  I'm using kmail to fetch from POP3 mailservers and pipe each 
message individually through "spamassassin -P -a".  I didn't realize that 
using spamd would be so much faster.  I could switch to fetchmail for the 
sake of spamd, although reading through the documentation I see that the 
spamc daemon could also improve my performance without changing my mail setup 
at all.  I'll give that a try first, and report back...
