Well, reducing rulesets should improve the speed, but that assumes all other things are equal. Are you using any network tests? Those long delays sound a lot like one or more network tests are enabled and timing out. try a test of running a message through spamassassin -L and compare it to a run through spamassassin. If the -L is substantially faster, you've got network test troubles.
