cuda
Would there be any performance to be gained by SpamAssassin if it were
adapted to support cuda where possible? It seems spamd is both multicore
friendly and pretty CPU intensive and if it could offload some of that
work, it might be helpful. It appears a $200 nvidia chipped video card
can do some serious computing.

Most of SA's CPU cycles are spent running regular expressions against
message headers and bodies — a task a GPU probably isn't terribly well
suited for.
