I've looked into why this is happening and in short there's a bug in 
SpamAssassin 3.1 which can lead to resource usage.  I already implemented the 
suggested workarounds, such as reducing the number of spamd processess and an 
couple of other things.

Not being an SysAdmin, I didn't think about telling the kernel to give less 
time to spamd via nice.  If someone can give me a quick tip on how to do 
this, I'm happy to.

Thanks for being observant, Jed.
