[Avcheck] md5 body checksum ring buffer as cache??

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Hi!

Would a ring-buffer of md5 checksums of message bodies make sense for
caching virus scan results?

Say, the buffer is 100 entries big:

checksum1           virus
checksum2           clean
checksum3           clean
...
checksumn           clen

This would considerably (?) decrease scanning time. Or is it just a stupid
idea?
