This update does mean that users may need to tweak their filters:
>        *** NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY ***

>        You *MUST* call detect_and_load_perl_modules() inside your filter
>        before you can rely on the %Features hash being set correctly,
>        and before you can rely on SpamAssassin being loaded!!!

But the apparent speedup (+ other fixes) should more than make up for
the small inconvenience :)
