Spamassassin

You are running it as the spamd daemon, and the spamc client pair, and not just invoking spamassassin for each incoming mail, right?
If not, try it. It shaves down the CPU and memory usage of spamassassin from amazingly high, to merly somewhat high.
Or, you could always run spamd on another box to spread the load around...

I'm actually not, because spamd is too fragile and dies easily (and I haven't had time to make it better)...
The actual overhead shouldn't be too great, though thanks to the wonder that is Mach.

I was worried about spamd crashing, so I used
daemontools
to make sure it stays up.
According to svstat spamd has been up for 1274394 seconds without restarting, so I guess I didn't have to worry as much as I thought...

... but djb is a crazy-man.
spamd died if I connected to it with telnet and then disconnected (it also died if I nmap'd the box locally).

Sure...you disable perl just as I start experimenting with it on your machine! :)
Hope you get everything back up soon.

That is because I am an ass.
I should have the RAM installed by this weekend at the latest.
