If it is taking 10 seconds per message then you likely have
some kind of serious misconfiguration.
It depends on the hardware, there's plenty of SOHO hardware where
10s would be considered snappy.
True, if running on under-powered or memory-limited hardware then
the 10 second time would be explainable. But in that case you'd see
high load-aves.
Not noticing a transient high load-average is consistent with a SOHO
server, desktop, or mail client plugin. My desktop PC takes 15+ seconds
and spends most of its time in REs but I never notice a slowdown, even
though it's a single core.
If the box is mostly waiting for net-test results
that's a config issue (or serious network problem ;).
The OP did ask about disabling all network tests which would imply
that he had some reason to suspect the latter.
You pretty much either know it's a network problem, or you're guessing.
And if you know it's a network problem, it's a short step to knowing
why, so my guess is that it's supposition.
I think CPU limiting is a distinct possibility.
I haven't exceeded ten second SpamAssassin passes since I was using
pure spamassassin and not spamc to scan mail on a very slow Pentium
with very limited memory. And I tend to run just a whole LOT of rules.
With 45 sets of rules plus network tests SpamAssassin 3.2.5 takes 7+
seconds and spamc takes 3.5 seconds "typically". That's on an old
Athlon clocked at 1.8 GHz with 1G of memory that is on its last legs.
(It's at least a decade old.)
