Besides being written in C, using BDB makes it very fast. On the 5th 
day I had 9140 records and the following /top/ output
PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  SWAP   CODE DATA COMMAND
15   0 10376 1308 1172 S    0  0.0   0:02.05 9068   16  252 ipqbdbd
18   0  9500 1312 1152 S    0  0.0   0:31.78 8188   32  256 ibd-parse

The second line above is a daemon that applies 5 pcre expressions to 
each mail.log line, in order to catch attackers: it consumes 15+ times 
more than issuing verdicts (both configured for a single queue.)
