It's happening because you've added a large amount to what Declude JunkMail
has to do.  A 90K IP blacklist is about 6,000 IPs, and a 641K domain
blacklist is about 30,000 domains.  That means that for every E-mail that
comes in, Declude JunkMail has to compare the IP with 6,000 IP ranges and
compare the return address with 30,000 different domains.  That's going to
take some time.

I am surprised that it is using up so much CPU time.  Are those IP
blacklists and sender blacklists ("ipfile" and "fromfile"), or are those
filters (if the domain blacklist is set up as a body filter, it would
account for the very high CPU usage)?
