But I have various servers with qmail-ldap configuration, where the a first server (simple qmail installation, without ldap) receives mails from internet and check domain using rcpthosts only, does spam and virus checks and them forwards the mail to the others qmail-ldap servers using virtualdomains and alias (so, the ldap accounts and mail address are on others servers)

One problem with this arrangement is that I cannot do RCPTCHECK, because none of the domains are in locals, but in virtualdomains. I would really like to do RCPTCHECK because of spam, but with that configuration I don't no how to do this...

Any ideas???

forwarding server we also reject email addresses in the access list to
further drop the load because spamassassin never needs to scan it.

I would certainly endorse anything to decrease the incoming load. We use qmail and implemented the goodrctto-12.patch which rejects emails at smtp time that are not in a list of valid recipients. This hugely (>80%) decreased the volume of accepted incoming mail which, obviously, hugely decreased the traffic through spamassassin.

my system had a high cpu load with spamassassin with network tests , dcc + razor and fuzzy_ocr because off this, we are considering disable razor or dcc from tests...

but we have doubt about which is better: disable razor or dcc?

any recomendations??
If the decision is between DCC and Razor, I would keep Razor.

However, neither one of them should contribute much to a high CPU load.
They can cause delays waiting for responses from the servers, but they don't
really do enough to raise the load significantly.

Fuzzy_ocr or a bad rule is a more likely candidate for eating cpu time.
