As theo suggested, you need to get more ram to get SA to run well.
In the meantime, you might want to consider these measures to cut down
your memory loading:
1) reduce the number of spamd children in spamd's -m parameter.
2) disable the AWL and bayes. While powerful, these two features are
memory hungry.
3) if you've got any add-on rulesets, make sure you get rid of any "big"
rulesets. In your case, keep it to a very minimal set. Maybe 80k total
of add-on .cf files.
4) dig around your system and disable any daemons you're not actually
using. ie: if you don't run a website, make sure httpd isn't running.
>From there, check your memory load with the "free" command. Ideally you
want swap used to be much less than "mem +buffers/cache" free.
For example on my test box:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 492152 390900 101252 0 83896 125092
-/+ buffers/cache: 181912 310240
Swap: 1015800 30484 985316
I've got 30,484 K of swap used. However, I've got 310,240k of memory
free when you count buffers and cache, over 10 times as much memory. I
try to keep it at least doubled.
Swap usage itself isn't bad, as the OS will tend to swap out rarely used
things to make a larger disk cache. However, if there's a lot of swap,
and not a lot of cache, you're probably overloaded and wasting a lot of
time thrashing pages in and out of the swap.
