Not sure if this is an appropriate place for this...
I was having huge performance issues marking batches of pending comments as spam, tons of httpds spawned, giant mysql spikes, etc. I narrowed it down to the wp-varnish plugin, which is apparently purging the cache on every spam comment, even though they were pending and not displayed on the page. Disabling the plugin and then marking a batch as spam would be tens of times faster (<1 second for 75 comments versus 20+ seconds).
I'm not going to have time to take a look at this for a while, and I'm just going to do the disable dance in the meantime, but if somebody else gets to it that'd be awesome. I assume it can just check if the comment was pending and then not purge and the problem would go away.
