How can a person tell that one of the RBL's is timing out?

We are also seeing SA timeouts and seeing blocks of spam passing :(

This started about 2 weeks ago, so not sure if maybe the amount of inbound
UCE is just over loading us. We are running a beefing machine, 1.75 GHz
Athlon with 3/4 Gig of Ram and the machine is strictly running Debian with
sendmail, MS/SA and basic Linux install. No www or other web related
processes.
