If you are doing any spam checking at all, it will force it to run every 
message through SpamAssassin. If you are using "Spam List" to do a DNSBL 
or two, it will force an expensive SpamAssassin check for every message, 
even if your config didn't ask it to. So mail whitelisted in 
spam.whitelist.rules will still be checked  with SpamAssassin, even 
though you whitelisted it. Depending on your particular setup, this 
could add a considerable overhead to produce reports that you didn't 
really want in the first place.
