Not normal, unless you are connecting from an IP address that
is not in @inet_acl, which by default only permits connecting
from a loopback IP address:

  @inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] );

Start amavisd in debug mode (# amavisd debug) and see what it
reports when you try to telnet to its port 10024.

Perhaps:
  (!)DENIED ACCESS from IP xx.xx.xx.xx, policy bank ''


It could also be that all your amavisd services are busy and
have an active session with Postfix smtp services. In this case
(to facilitate testing and/or releasing from a quarantine),
you may want to run one additional amavisd child process

(set $max_servers in amavisd.conf to one more than is maxproc
in master.cf for a smtp service that is feeding amavisd,
typically named 'smtp-amavis' or 'amavisfeed' in more recent
documentation).

71 seconds is pretty bad. If it happens frequently, try running
SA on a command line (su vscan -c 'spamassassin -t -D <test.msg)
on some test message and see what is bogging it down.
Could be DNS, Botnet, Bayes, ...
