There's several things you can do see what's loading spamassassin, BUT is you're running 3.2.3 make sure you've run sa-update in order to update the core rules NOT to do completewhois lookups which are broken in the base 3.2.3

Other things to check are that you're not running ALL RBL's but just a select few, have a local caching nameserver on the mailscanner machine....
