A question of speed

I have some co-workers that are writing an email parser (not sure of
the specifics) that is going to process around 5000 emails a day. I
suggested that they go a pure Perl route but they are leary about Perl
being "fast" enough to parse that many emails.

I have no definitive experience with something on this scale but I am
sure someone on the Perl group does.
