The answer is in your logs. For starters, at log level 2 there are
TIMING log reports, see what part is taking that long.
Also, setting $nanny_details_level to 2 and looking at amavisd-nanny
output also show what processes are doing:
$nanny_details_level = 2; # nanny verbosity: 1: traditional, 2: detailed
('amavisd-nanny -h' shows a legend)

Some of these may be due to a missing call to a SA 'finish' method.
It is fixed in 2.5.1. There rest will probably be explained when
you find the answer to the original problem.
