I see what you mean. As I said: Perl on Windows uses much more! About 
double! So, blaim that first. Then, the usage of SA is roughly known, it 
is at 20-40 MB per instance, depending on the number of rules you use,  
the OS, the Perl version and maybe some other factors. Bayes doesn't add 
much, really. Everyone says, but it doesn't, I checked it some time back.  
It only adds CPU cycles and some spikes when expiring, but it doesn't add 
much to a spamd instance. So, the gpcsa alone accounts for maybe 30 - 40 
MB, while SA accounts for possibly 20 - 30 MB (it uses less if run as a 
library, as gpcsa seems to do, than as as spamd daemon). So, you are at 60 
MB, now double that.
