You are definitely right; it seems to me there is still something
very wrong with your setup. Your messages should be taking no more
than 2 or 3 seconds each to go through amavisd.
Have you double-checked what DNSBLs and other network services you
are querying from SpamAssassin, and made sure you are not querying a
dead or blocked DNSBL, an unconfigured or misconfigured Razor, or
something of the kind? A network query which was taking 20 seconds or
so to timeout and fail on each message might explain your performance
numbers.
