Looking at the pyzor man page I've noted that pyzor can be made to run
with "ReadyExec":
ReadyExec is a system to eliminate the high startup-cost of
executing scripts repeatedly. If you execute pyzor a lot, you might
be interested in installing ReadyExec and using it with pyzor.
Seems to be just the sort of thing to address your concern (short of
a perl implementation of the pyzor client). I should note that *I*
haven't used the ReadyExec stuff in my environment [1] (where executing
the pyzor client hasn't been much of a resource drain), but I've thought
about it.
[1] My environment supports about 2000 users scanning roughly 45000 -
70000/day currently spread across two older linux boxes.
