[SAtalk] what's up with spamassassin ?!

[Ricki]

Hi   I have redhat 7.3 with two 600 processors   I recently upgraded from 2.54 to 2.6 and i use perl 5.6.1 and sendmail.   It works great to filter the spam !   but.. The system load seems to be very high! At times the load is over 25, goin to the most i have seen 50.02   I use the procmail.example file provided as procmailrc. and dont have much rules in the local.cf   What can the done to stablize the server ?   Thanks
