check_policy_service unix:postgrey/socket
in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions = line is all you need, and postfix
will check on /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket
which is what postgrey will listen on.
Security is one reason, better load handling is another. There is a lot
less resources required to setup and teardown a unix socket than a
network socket.

I could, yes - but just wanted to make sure there wasent anything else
in the mix ( like the postgrey chap suddenly recommending everyone just
use a unix socket )
