It depends on the way you use a script language. Of course, if, say,
you'd be forking off a whole new perl or python for each mail -- that'd
be slow. But if you'll load it once and keep it (say, in a daemon), than
C program wouldn't be that much faster.
As for security.. Well, there are far more ways to shoot yourself in the
foot in C, than in Python or Perl :) (Hint: buffer overflows).
