BTW, if you watch the debug output of a message being scanned, you'll
see exactly where it's slow.

I'm guessing that these are the problems. SpamAssassin is launching a
lot of rDNS queries looking for A records and such like. Better stil
these are coming back false. Someone I was talking too mentioned i need
a -H flag somewhere to stop these DNS lookups?
-H sets the home directory and has nothing to do with DNS lookups. -L
disabled all net tests, which you don't really want either.
Ideas?

A little weird that you're getting no NXDOMAIN responses from those
lists. I'd look for a firewall issue blocking DNS responses.
Try querying for some of the records manually.
In any case, also read about rbl_timeout in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
perldoc.
