I agree. LoadAVG is a pretty useless measurement. And relaxing your

We truncate overly-long messages too, but we try to be intelligent
about it. We shrink non-text MIME parts first and then if the message
is still too large, we give up. Just blindly cutting a message in the
middle might wreck the MIME structure and give unexpected and unwanted
results.
My goal is to implement something in spamc/spamd that's useful for
people using SA more out of the box. I guess, my thought is that adding
some logic to dynamically increase the size limit was better than the
status quo.
I agree your techniques are good and perhaps it's time to make
MIME::Tools more integral to SA.
Perhaps I'm focusing too much on "better than now" and you're both
right, we need to focus on "the best".
