I assume you're not using local resolver or you have a thin/throttled pipe (many DSL routers dislike UDP floods). That could explain those 16 sec.

But I talk about smth else: why are hashes still computed... I've whitelist_auth-ed an address, but anyway...

You're misunderstanding what whitelisting does in SA. All it does is add a large negative score component to the message's overall score. A whitelisted sender _could_ still send spam if, for instance, their account got cracked.

If you want to reduce scanning time you can do two things:

(1) Investigate short circuiting

(2) Whitelist correspondents in your MTA, so that those messages don't get passed into SA in the first place. How you do that depends on your MTA and your glue.
