I read that article. The problem with the Postfix solution was not Postfix, but the fact that they were filtering from a procmail-invoked Perl script. That's a huge fail.

We run our Perl spam-scanner in conjunction with Sendmail, but we use the Milter interface to keep persistent Perl scanners running. The bottleneck in this system is by far the spam-scanning; Sendmail doesn't even show up on the radar.
