70_sare_random.cf shouldn't have any significant impact. Those tests
are real simple and efficient.

70_sare_adult.cf contains a lot of obfuscation tests, but they're
among the most efficient of that type.

There's also a lot of obfuscation testing in 70_sare_oem.cf, some of
it not quite so efficient (some testing of \s* between words), but
nothing horrendous.

There's nothing in those rules that should cause a 50% drop in
efficiency.

How may instances of SpamAssassin may be running at one time?  What's
your load average and your swap level?
