I don't have a _good_ answer for you, but since it seems nobody else does
either (although it could just be the mail server being slow).
You could rewrite functionality that you must keep hidden in C or C++
stored procedures. Since they're compiled, users won't have access to
their logic. It'll require a lot of work to rewrite, but perhaps you
could pick only the most critical parts to rewrite?
As I said, not a _good_ answer, but hopefully helpful.
