- the high load is because of high number of spamd children running.

- the missing scores of some emails are because you need more of spamd children
  running, connections are refused so any spamc client just passes messages
  as they are.


Well, you can/should throttle incoming e-mail when you notice this. Or, get
a faster machine. Or, try comment out all SARE rules (especially those URI*)
if that helps (they are recource-hungry).

Note that many plugins help much more than some rules, especially network:
- razor2 (net)
- pyzor (net)
- DCC (net)
- URIDNSBL (net)
- rbl checks (net)
- SPF (net, in fact)
- DKIM (net)
- TextCat (net)
- ImageInfo
- RelayCountry (net)

I advise you check them before searching for other rules.
