How can I make sure that spamassassin is using both processors. Top is
showing spamd using between 39% and 89% of the processor constantly.
there are times during the day when we are processing 1800+ email per
hour after RBLs strip off 70% of the cruft.
what are some tuning tips? I don't really want to get rid of the rules

If you are using *nix of some kind with a multi-processor enabled
