The usual solution is more memory.
You need to tell us what version of SpamAssassin you are running, how
much memory you have in the machine, and how you are using SpamAssassin
including the options. Your mail load will also make a difference.
The SARE rules do consume a lot of memory. But they do not cause the
machine to bog down terribly. A typical "spamassassin -t" run here is
about 2.7 seconds on a 2G Athlon with a gig of memory. That is one of
the more "brutal" ways to run spamassassin, though. spamc->spamd was
under half that time. (I have a peculiar problem with per user rules
with that configuration so I do not use it.)
