If you're interested in testing/tuning spamassassin for heavy loads you should consider using spamd daemon. Then you may use SLAMD [1] as performance evaluation platform [2]. It takes some effort to set up the environment, but SLAMD helps in repetitive testing and keeping track of the results (comparison, history, charts).
