Use spamc/spamd!
According to your OP, you are calling spamassassin, forking a new
heavy-weight process for each mail. This comes with a considerable
start-up penalty. You can get rid of this and lower your machines load,
for trading off some memory.

Probably not. ;) With a lot of spam, using spamassassin rather than
spamd would fry your server.
IMHO, anyone who feels the need for SA (as opposed to some small-scale,
usually Bayes-only client side filtering) also needs a more
sophisticated method than plain 'spamassassin' calling per mail.
