Normal reporting by webparser submits one spam, sees one parser result,
and selects one set of notifies to report, all in a relatively short
time per submission.  If several iterations of parsers are running 'in
parallel', there's no wasted reporter waiting time for all of the
processes.

Normal reporting by email submission submits many spams and receives
links to many parser results at a later time, which links are accessed
one at a time for selections of notifies to report.  The delay between
emailing the bulk spam submissions and receiving the parser links
varies.  Multiple parallel browser iterations of the links again reduce
waiting time.

Pre-approved quick reporting by email submission submits many spams at a
time, whose parser derived spamsources are assumed 'autoapproved' right
or wrong with resultant reporting of all of the sources and no
spamvertisers without further reporter action on any parser links
required.

SpamCop email clients can quickreport en masse directly from their held
webmail.

Because there is some hazard of errant reporting of parser errors by
quickreporting, every configurable effort should be made to reduce the
chances of reporting your own provider by configuring for mailhosts
before any quickreporting begins.
