I think you should start by telling us what hardware you are running, disk subsystem, amount of RAM, processor(s) and speed, and what is running on that box aside from spamassin (sendmail/postfix/exim/?, DNS, etc), and whether you're using RBL checks and additional rulesets. Any virus scanning done on the box?
