It's probably just an oversight. I don't think taint checking requires
a lot of overhead.
On my server (non-highperf), I removed -wT and performance got much
better (that is: load dropped). I re-enabled it a few days later to make
sure it really was the -wT. It was. It's now disabled again.
I'm willing to exchange some security for performance in this case. But
I do think -T should stay the default.
I have no idea which of -w and -T had which overhead.

If code passes the -Tw switch once, it's debugged,
then turn -Tw off for speed. What about that? It
might deserve a comment that turning off -Tw is
a speedup. This assumes people usually don't hack
on qpsmtpd and plugins, or if they do, debug them
with -Tw.
