FWIW, my /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin uses the following commands to start:

OPTIONS="-d -c -H -m 1

I have not set the clients_per_child. I rarely see more than 3 spamd processes 
running at a time though. Another thing that I do is that every six hours I 
have a cronjob that shuts down and restarts spamassassin.  This is also a 
desktop box with about 120 total msgs a day.
