Get rid of it and install SURBL - www.surbl.org bigevil.cf is no
longer a production config as it's outgrown the practical limitations
of most machines.

Your box is probably underspec'd for that that volume, I would suggest
at least 1 Gig of RAM.

Running SBL at the MTA level is a pretty good start to removing some
additional load, SBL-XBL is probably not ideal however as it does list
dynamic IP's as you've noticed.

XBL can be added as a spamassassin rule, this is very easy to work out
with a quick google.
