Is it just some messages that cause SA to be slow, or does it affect
all messages? Are you running chrooted?

If Bayes is in use I would first check to see if database is still sane,
and manually do expiry:
su vscan -c 'sa-learn --showdots --force-expire'

Then take one message (e.g. snatch email.txt from some temporary directory)
and feed it to a command line spamassassin:
su vscan -c 'spamassassin -t -D <email.txt'
and see if it runs normally.
