# SpamAssassin is not very fast when scanning huge messages, so messages
# bigger than this value will be truncated to this length for SpamAssassin
# testing. The original message will not be affected by this. This value
# is a good compromise as very few spam messages are bigger than this.
Max SpamAssassin Size = 90000

(don't know how I missed this stnd option)

If I am reading this correctly, SA will still scan a 100000 byte message but
it will only scan the first 90000 bytes.  By nature of the second sentence,
wouldn't it be a good idea to (have the option to) pass these messages
unscanned rather than scan 90K (or 30K which seems to be the new default) of
a message that is most likely not spam anyway?
