If anyone has a simple way of updating rules for spamassassin I would 
welcome your input.  I still need to update the rules as I have been 
getting a great number of emails coming through to users.  Specifically, 
we are getting a lot of the pharmaceutical spam and the stock spam.

It's not the method of updating that is causing your resource 
utilization problem, but the rules themselves.

Updating your SARE rules with sa-update or rules_du_jour will both have 
the same effect, except that sa-update will get you updates faster.

To tackle the resource utilization problem you'll just have to trim down 
the number of rulesets you are using.  Alternatively, you can cut down 
the number of spamd processes you are using (fewer is often better than 
more, even when it says to consider increasing the number) or add more 
memory to the machine.
