+      Warning: if you have a busy server with a lot of ratelimit tests,
+      especially with the per_rcpt option, you may suffer from a performance
+      bottleneck caused by locking on the ratelimit hints database. Apart from
+      making your ACLs less complicated, you can reduce the problem by using a
+      RAM disk for Exim's hints directory, /var/spool/exim/db/. However this
+      means that Exim will lose its hints data after a reboot (including retry
+      hints, the callout cache, and ratelimit data).

+      "+memory". However, "-all" still turns everything off.
