This is speculation, but: If your mail system is running while you're doing the import, is it possible that your mail delivery processes are building up waiting for a lock which is being held by the sa-learn process? I believe that spamassassin/spamd which time out after a few seconds if they can't get the lock, but if your server is busy enough, you may well get several processes waiting.
