I noticed recently that the average ~0.8s scan time on our filter cluster had jumped to just over 3s.

If you can duplicate this behavior on a manual scan of a test message, there are debug flags and a timing plugin that will help troubleshoot performance problems.

Checking back in the logs shows this has happened within the past week and a half to two weeks.

Where can I find out what changes have been made in the stock ruleset? I finally managed to find ruleqa.spamassassin.org, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get eg a diff from Nov 1 to Nov 2.

There's no single place to look; you have to dig around in svn:

  http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/

or diff the update files yourself.

sa-update cleans up after itself, so you'd have to download the older update and then do a recursive diff locally.

You can go here for the log of sandbox generated score commits:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/scores/72_scores.cf?view=log

Pick the two revisions of interest, note the revision numbers _in the comments_ (e.g. revision 1030355 for the Nov. 4 commit), and run this to get the update tarball, substituting the revision number in the obvious place:

wget http://buildbot.spamassassin.org.nyud.net:8090/updatestage/1030355.tar.gz

create subdirectories, untar in the subdirectories (the tarballs do not provide any directory structure), and then do a recursive diff of the two directories. Tools for doing the recursive diff are left as an exercise for the student... :)

I don't know how long old updates are retained on the buildbot servers or mirrors, but it does go back to at least April 2010.
