Please DO NOT use sa-blacklist.  Use multi.surbl.org instead.  Bill will tell
you the same thing when he gets a chance.

No one should be using sa-blacklist any more.  It's way too large and
inefficient.  The WS bit in multi.surbl.org has the same data and it's in
DNSBL form so there is no huge ruleset to fill up your memory, just DNS
queries.   In your case it's probably causing spamassassin to swap out of
memory.
