See below..

ClamAV, McAfee, Spamassassin 2.6.3, DCC, Razor

Nothing abnormal, just the process starting and mail being processed, even
in verbose logging, it just appears to be a normal process that won't let
the other threads have any resources.  If I kill it, the other threads spawn
and run as per normal.

As soon as mail begins to be processed.  If no mail is in the queue, not
hogging, but the second any mail is in queue it's hogging.
