Jeremy, While you are completely right spamc/spamd are a better combination for performance, there are no debugging abilities in spamc/spamd where as there are many debugging functionalities in the standalone spamassassin script. The purpose of my example was to help troubleshoot a slow spamassassin installation, not to provide a working solution to the problem. I stand by the fact that running spamassassin with the -D comamndline switch is an effective method of testing spamassassin and the various checks that SA performs.
