Last week I had a *perfectly legitimate* message with a 151KB logical single line of HTML (QP encoded of course) freeze up a server scaled for 10k users.

why in the world do you allow a single spamd child to scan 20 minutes for a message and what happens if all your childs have such mails to proceed - that's hardly scaled for 10k users on rainy days
time_limit 20read the manual, it works like shortcircuit meaning all other rules already finished (RBL/URIBL in any case) will give their score and so you don't open the machine widely while stop easy DOS attacks with handcrafted mails
if the server is not a feature-phone when you don't have a result within 20 seconds you hardly get one 5 minutes later (besides that in a proper setup rejecting based on teh result the client don't wait that long and comes again and again)
