I think you have 4GB RAM on this server. Look at your CPU usage and your load averages. If the machine is under high load, then maybe 8 is too much, but if it is under light load, then you can even increase the number. It was under high load when you were using all those SARE rules, but it does not look like it is now. Many of thew SARE rules you were using may already be included with SpamAssassin 3.1. So you really need to determine which ones are not required. Many people don't use any SARE rules (I only use 2), and SpamAssassin works fine for them. My system may work better if I added a few more SARE rules, but I would have to study each one very carefully to see if it meets my needs.
