P5 166 with only 64MB RAM and swap?  Yeah...that's the performance you're 
going to get.

My system is an Athlon 2GHz, with half a gig of RAM, and I'm seeing 
today's performance like this:

Total number of emails processed by the spam filter : 81
Number of spams                         :        12 ( 14.81%)
Number of clean messages                :        69 ( 85.19%)
Average message analysis time           :      9.96 seconds
Average spam analysis time              :      7.94 seconds
Average clean message analysis time     :     10.31 seconds
Average message score                   :     -2.87
Average spam score                      :     14.57
Average clean message score             :     -5.90
Total spam volume                       :        39 kbytes
Total clean volume                      :       417 kbytes

This is actually a little high, but one of the last messages my server 
sent out was fairly large, and went out to over 150 people from a 
listserv.
