Every time you load spamassassin you have to load the entire perl
interpreter and it's environment.  It has to scan it's library pathis (I
believe...) and you may have more in place now.  That takes time.  Plus
you're running a lot of other processess as well.  I would suspect this to
be the issue at hand.
