Spam Assassin and CPU

I installed spamassassin on a few servers.
Man it was taking allthe cpu up and crashing the servers.

It worked well, but if you have several hundred clients on a server, you most likley have a couple thousand email accounts setup from the users. Because spamassassin has to chek each email, the processes are huge and reallt kills the servers.

Strage too because my servers all have 1.8 P4's and a gig or ram.
The load averages are real low with the filters.

Anyone have issues like this?
Thanks, Kev
