unix domain sockets have a name stored in the filesystem, and are used for 
inter-process communication on one machine. (the name of the socket is stored 
on the filesystem, but the data doesnt actually go to disk). try `man unix`

16 seconds? that sounds wrong. the '-a 2' bit of the command line tells it to 
terminate after 2 seconds of inactivity. Did it really take 14 seconds to 
import and initialise spambayes? On this machine it takes 2.7 seconds, 
implying initialisation takes 0.7 seconds.

How long does it take to run:

echo test|scripts/sb_filter.py

On this machine that 0.7 seconds, which is consistent with my timings above.

If you can debug where your 14 seconds are being spent, Im sure you will find 
a strong clue to your problem.

Are you on linux? if so, the following command will create a log file of all 
syscalls. Im sure that will contain the answer. Email me (off-list) or make 
it available for download.

echo test| strace -tt -f -o trace.txt python contrib/sb_bnfilter.py

Im here. Ive only been quiet because Skips answers have been so good, and in 
the right timezone.
