Quoting J C Lawrence (claw@cp.net):
Is your MTA running as a daemon or thru inetd? (should be runnign thru inetd for minimal startup time)
Almost certainly *not*. If you run it through inet, it has to start up and parse its configuration files every single time it recieves an email. If runing as a daemon, it's got the config files parsed already before the mail even hits it.
