It's also worth noting that allow_user_rules makes spamd less efficient, at a minimum because it has to rebuild all of the rule eval strings for every message. IMO, don't enable allow_user_rules unless you really need to do it.
I've been contemplating that to a degree. It would be nice if I could use the standard rule paths and designate one extra directory for included rules from it. Then I could run, for a two user installation, a pair of spamd processes with a minimalist number of children and optimize the filtering. The only reason I've not explored it is "why bother?" At the moment SpamAssassin is not using much machine at all for two people with under a dozen mail accounts. But from the aesthetic standpoint is there a way right now to perform this hack? {^_-} <- Yeah, she does get silly now and then.
