I had steady 29+second spamd times, turned off all lookup etc, nothing changed. Snooped in the spamd users dir (I also run spamd on a remote machine with the default user 'pop3', so all bayes/whitelist info goes into that dir). Lo and behold a 15 minute old lockfile. deleted that one file and down to < 2 seconds per msg.

I just updated my production SA environment from 2.41 to 2.60 and am running into load issues. I'm running SA on a 2-node Tru64 cluster. Each node has 4 gigs of memory and dual 667mHz Alpha CPUs. We process about 150,000 messages per day but, of course, it isn't an even distribution. We can get up to 25,000 messages an hour during the day. We're using spamd/spamc with only local tests. I'm struggling with two issues. One is the amount of memory spamd is using. I had started with evilrules, popcorn, etc but had to take them back out as spamd was sucking up too much memory. Without those, it's still considerably larger than 2.4 was. The second problem is that spamd is taking longer to process the messages. It's doing more, obviously. 2.41 processed most messages in less than a second (usually 0.4 - 0.6). 2.60 is taking 1.4 - 20 seconds. The problem here is that incoming mail starts to back up. So I try to allow more spamd processes to handle it then the machine bogs down. I've been playing with -m to try to find an optimal setting.
Is anyone else running SA in a largish environment? I'm looking for any and all tuning hints as I really don't want to go back to 2.4. I am using a system-wide bayes. I'm not sure how much drag that adds either.
