[Cross post alert... This should have been posted on `talk'
 I had my wires crossed for a few posts which will no be posted to
 `talk']

Being very new to spamassassin, I'm wondering if I something setup
very wrong.  I just installed from CPAN and so far have only made a
few edits to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.

In my tests, I've thrown 80-90 pieces of mail at spam assassin running
in the stock .procmailrc recipe with an added debug -D:

UL=/usr/local/bin
  :0fw
  | $UL/spamassassin -D  -P

  :0:
  * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
  spam_assassin1.in

When I pipe the messages thru it like this:
  cat tspam2| formail -e -s procmail -m \
   ${HOME}/projects/proc/.test_spamassassin

Where `tspam2' contains copies of the most recent 85 of my fetched mail.
And .test_spamassassin contains the recipes shown. (no other recipes)

I see the cpu usage do a slow climb to around 50% (on an amd 400mhz)
Most of the time is spent in ranges below 25% though.  And it takes
quite a while to process those 85 messages.

real    2m41.954s
user    2m13.440s
sys     0m10.620s

Nearly three minutes.  The machine is doing other chores too of
course, but not very intense ones.  I wondered if this is about par
for the course or indicative of a poor setup on my end.

The mail is largely list mail from various lists and pretty standard
in size and content.

SA is doing quite a lot of processing... so maybe its normal?
