1) make sure the AWL is off.. you need to do this at the spamassassin
level, as SA 3.0's API does not respond to MailScanner's attempts to
disable it. The extra DB overhead here can be substantial.

2) Are you using bayes? Check for "expire" files next to your bayes
database files.. If you have those piling up, MS is timing out SA while
it's doing bayes database expiry. Either disable bayes_auto_expire and
run sa-learn --force-expire from a cronjob, or extend your spamassassin
timeout to a really large value.

3) SA 3.0 queries a lot more RBLs.. run spamassassin --lint -D and see
if it's getting hung up there.
