A bit late but the problem was mostly with SA.

First could you try the SA lint test as provided in mailwatch, it gives
you a very nice report indicating the time taken for each step.

Some things that I do on a regular basis to trim the entries in bayes.
Path to spam.assassin.prefs.conf may differ in your case.

sa-learn --sync -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
sa-learn --force-expire -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

Next (if the previous commands didn't do wonders), try re-creating your
entire bayesian db (after a backup, of course). This worked for me,
though ymmv.

You could also try replacing your bayes with the starter db from
http://fsl.com/support

Though I don't really see any errors related to bayes in the debug
output, you could possibly try this out. Hope this works for you (it did
for me).
