 '''ATTENTION''': This is a '''''extremely rough''''' solution and not intended to be used in a production environment. It works around the in windows unimplemented fork issues by incorporating the children processes' tasks into the main process. Thus no spin-off processes are needed. Various other issues are not tackle but these result only in warning messages.
 
+Kudos to Arik for providing this document. In NO WAY do I wish to minimize his achievement!
+
+I must however caution folks that this is not really a huge improvement IMO from Klaus Mueller's previous attempt on SA 2.5x. 
+In both cases you will get SpamD hobbling along, and you WILL see some speed improvement, particularly under modest load. 
+But under heavier load, you will likely find any performance advantage disappearing and may experience timeouts. Also, this amount of
+patching is not fot the novice and will break all too easily with only minor code updates -- MichaelBell
