Any performance improvements since $VERSION = "3.000002";

[Robert Nicholson <ro...@elastica.com>]

I'm currently running the above release  and it's working quite well  
but I wanted to ask has performance been improved significantly since  
this release? What incentive is there to upgrade to a more recent  
release?

You mean besides the fact that 3.02 is vulnerable to a remotely
exploitable DoS attack?

Well, let's see here, 3.1.0 is a major release with some new features:

The biggest things are an improved DNS model, and an improved spamd
forking algorithm. It also improves URI parsing, so some obfuscation
tricks won't prevent SA from looking URIs up in the URIBLs, etc.


And 3.1.1 actually makes sa-update work, along with some bugfixes:
