Both Milter and smtpd_proxy_filter process mail before it is queued. The smtpd_proxy_filter approach is more general (it uses SMTP instead of the Milter protocol). I haven't done performance comparisons. If your performance is inadequate, I suggest that you do a detailed system performance analysis to find out if the limit is CPU, memory, file I/O or perhaps some trivial DNS configuration problem.
