It's not essential to compile rules, it speeds things up by a useful amount on busy servers but may not save as many cpu cycles as it takes to do the compilation on light loads. You have to uncomment the line: loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody in v320.pre for the compiled version to actually be used. I think most people that compile rules do it after every update. but AFAIK it's not essential - modified and new rules are just left to perl if you don't.
