I'm haven't benchmarked it. For high-volume sites, passing the size down
as a command-line argument to the filter and skipping the mail will be
faster, it will at least save you the process execution of bogofilter
and bogofilter's reading the whole mail (even if it doesn't score
attachments) -- provided you don't get false negative large mails.

Feel free to post your results ;-)
