Normal scanning times are 0.1 to 0.7 seconds.
When the timeout occured spamd was eating all CPU.
Here is a longer snippet from the logs:

What about the "max-children", is that a cause or consequence? Should
I try to raise the limit (how do I do it)?
How do I find what message this was and the size of it?
