Yeah, it was 10, I increased it to 20, and then I was getting
connections rejected because system load was over 12.  (In the
spurts where it actually was processing.) I backed that back
down to 15.  I also set the queueing to 10 deep.

I also shut down spamassassin and did a "sa-learn --rebuild".
and set the Bayes learning to "learn-to-journal".

Funny thing, we have two identical spamassassin boxes, and one
of them seems mostly OK, though still slower than with 2.54.
Same CPU (400Mhz sparc) same memory (1GB), same disks, same
config, diff doesn't find any differences in the config files
in /etc/init.d, /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter, or
/etc/mail/spamassassin/*.  This makes me think maybe bayes is
having a problem, but I did rebuild the files from scratch with
my spam/ham corpus.

Maybe I'll try just turning off bayes for a little while
and see if that makes a difference.

We're also using mimedefang to filter off all executable
attachments.  I originally went to mimedefang because the
only version of spamass-milter that was available was so
buggy that it was causing us serious problems, and I don't 
recall seeing amavis-milter then.  But now, filtering off
executable attachments has become a lot more important.

And I don't have time to test and install a new milter
right now.  In retrospect, I shouldn't have upgraded
spamassassin so soon before going on vacation, but the
upgrades had always gone so smoothly before...
