After rebooting (~100 new messages) using my box is no fun at all due to
a lot of spamassassin processes running. Except for using spamd what can I
do against this? I'm running SA on Debian woody with exim as MTA and fetchmail. 
Running the MTA nicely (and therefore all of its childs including procmail and 
spamassassin I assume) is my first guess.

Maybe processing only one a message at a time would be better as all this fork/exec 
accounts for a lot of CPU/disk load, too. Any hints
