	If you don't want to process a message the instant it comes in
(via feeding it to a perl script or what ever) you'll need to setup some
sort of queue, then have a cron job come through and process the
queue.

	If the problem is load then another approach would be to heavily
nice(1) the perl script the is launched when a commit mail comes in.
