I'd be more worried about speed of delivery than speed of DB regeneration.
Note that it's still a program delivery, albeit done through a more
efficient program than your existing perlDB script.
As an aside, has anyone done any performance comparisons between
fastforward and .qmail-forwarding for large numbers of aliases (>10,000)?

fastforward is traditionally invoked in ~alias/.qmail-default, so unless
you have some other delivery instructions already in that file, everything
else should still work.
