Yes.  Well, it depends on how much mail you need to process, but very likely.

256MB is not enough, I don't think.

Those are all fine.

Are you running any custom rulesets? (RulesDuJour, BigEvil, etc.)  Those can 
really inflate the size of a SpamAssassin object.

If your MIMEDefang threads spend a fair amount of their time doing things 
besides calling SpamAssassin, you might profit from my 
have-MIMEDefang-use-spamc/spamd hack:

... but 256MB is on the low side.

Are you running a tmpfs file system for the spool directory?
