dovecot - Jul 2009 - sieve filtering setup

I'm looking at implementing sieve in my environment.
Software is:
dovecot-1.2-sieve revision 1022:3c9a22c28156
dovecot-1.2 revision 9269:a303bb82c1c9
AIX 5.3 with sendmail mta using prescribed deliver lda.

  I have a few questions. I'll have 110k sieve files(1 for each user).  
Does sieve read the file each time a new message is accepted by  
sendmail? Are there any measurements on cpu load for sieve filters?

Thanks,
Jonathan

If all is configured correctly, the Sieve scripts are compiled once each 
time they are changed or created. After that, the deliver LDA only reads 
the compiled binary from disk for each message. Since the LDA is called 
separately for each message, there is no way to keep the Sieve binary in 
memory between messages.

I've not seen any benchmarks thus far.
