Justin, I think you might have hit the nail right on the head with this 
statement:
 
> Dallas btw -- what's the CPU on that box?  is it hyperthreaded?
 
Tom Parkinson and I were chatting last night about some possibilities for this 
problem and I suggested that it might help if I assembled a timeline of the 
problem since we were not experiencing it from day 1.

The timeline showed the problem appearing a few days after the installation of 
an SMP enabled kernel (hyperthreading) on the box and stopped after they 
removed it for a more stable non-SMP kernel.  This went on fine until there was 
a HD crash on this server.  At this point, I believe the SMP enabled kernel may 
be have been reinstalled and no one caught it.  Ever since the system was 
reloaded from that HD crash, the SpamAssassin issue has been hot and heavy.  
Patches have slowed it down and reduced the effects, but it's definitely still 
there.
 
I have just posted a new message in the cPanel forum thread on this issue 
(http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?p=153528#post153528) asking everyone 
that is affected by this issue to post their CPU type, whether it is 
multithreaded or if they have multiple CPU's in their system, and if they are 
running a multithreaded/multiple CPU aware kernel.  I'll ask the same questions 
here:

1. What type of CPU are you running?

2. Is it multi-threaded or do you have multiple CPU's?

3. Are you running a kernel that is using that feature?

My theory is that most everyone that is experiencing this problem will answer 
yes to at least 1 and 2, but we'll see....
