*Second* exim example in the docs?  The only one I've found is one using
deliver and a pipe.  The one above is talking to the lmtpd, over a tcp
connection.  It's from a standard version of cyrus and a standard version of
the latest exim version 3.xx.  Is deliver actually faster than tcp connections
(to localhost)?  I was getting the impression that it's slow from various
posts here.

If you could point me to said second example it'd be useful :)
