Yeah, as I thought.  You're using a (probably global) lockfile on this recipe, so procmail is waiting for the previous spamc to finish before it starts the next one.  Try this instead:

:0fw
| spamc -f

:0e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}

That'll remove the unneccessary locking, and should mean you have fewer procmails waiting around for the other ones to finish.
