This clearly looks like you're running some optional rulesets; by the
naming, that's clearly not a standard SA module.

I believe I mentioned this before, but I'll say it again:

If you're troubleshooting, start by removing all optional rules.
Some of them eat insane amounts of memory and/or CPU time. Get a
vanilla install running, then see what you need to add to it.

I think in this case, it should get you back on the road again.
