I think you may be right, as it seems to be fine now?  I even put my

Are there any parameters that I can adjust to help with this type of issue?
There were no cpu/memory constraints?


If you dig back through the archives there mention (maybe even by me - if not, email me off-list) of adding an iptables rule to throttle storms like this. On production servers I drop IPs that attempt to connect more than 10 times in a 60 second period, and I reset that after 6 hours. Maybe adjuts your blacklists some. Depending on your load you may be exceeding the number of "free" lookups allowed by spamhaus and you may need to look into their commercial feed.
