Nope.  There is no short-cutting code at all right now.

I was actually chatting with another developer in IM about this very
idea last night.  It sounds like a good idea, except, that it's more
efficient to launch the RBL tests in the background at the start, then
run the local tests, then check the network test results.

The likelihood is that you'll have to do network checks on more of your
mail than the amount the short cut would be used on, so you're likely
to end up spending more time per message since you'll always be waiting
to start the network checks.

Right.  Any test with a 0 score is not run.
