Really? Did you have some empirical evidence for this performance
difference or was this a subjective conclusion by someone what
apparently never got the m4 macro concept down?

I use both sendmail and postifx and think that both have their strengths
and weaknesses and never saw m4 as a problem, in fact, I think it is one
of sendmail's greatest strengths. I never noticed a performance
difference either. It's awfully easy to configure and maintain. Postfix
has more granularity of configuration options.

I think that if your notions of sendmail and postfix were widely held,
that few would use sendmail any longer.
