There is no Linux 6.2. Linus is still working on 2.5. Oh, you meant
*RedHat* Linux 6.2. (the distinction may seem subtle, but really it
isn't)

This has come up before. "time", in this message, is not
well-defined. There are 3 types of time on a computer :
1) "real" time -- this is the kind of time you can measure by
looking at a clock on the wall
2) "user" time -- the amount of real time that a process has use
of the CPU for (in "user space")
3) "system" time -- the amount of real time that a process has
use of the CPU for while executing in a system library
If you measure the time of spamc and spamassassin using the 'time'
command, you'll see that while the real time is the same (due to your
really slow network checks), the user and system time of spamc/spamd
is much less than spamassassin.
