Fwiw, I've decided to skip the milter alltogether, and proceed with a
patched sendmail. Much more reliable imho.

On startup spf-milter is using ~25MB of memory and starts

The Python milter with SPF hasn't had these problems.  Python has had 
reliable threading for much longer than Perl.  

http://bmsi.com/python/milter.html

It runs at dozens of my clients and at up to 40000/day at my site.  The
underlying Python milter module is used at a large ISP for custom 
mail processing.

The memory footprint of the milter on my machine is a steady 4.5M - and that 
includes DSPAM and checking for banned attachments.
