A poorly written regEx could be the culprit. There were a number of 
regex handling changes in 1.3.3 for some of the features, possibly this 
might cause issues with one or more regex strings.

Bayesian analysis on a large messages with a heavily loaded system can 
also cause these symptoms.

It could also be related to the running-assp-as-non-root performance 
issue some reported seeing on Linux.

Or it could be an external service causing the delay.

What do your logs show just before the CPU usage increases?
