Scantime on messages

Hi everyone,

I'm looking over my logs and it *seems* to me that its taking exceessivley
long for these messages to scan, granted I don't have the latest and greatest
hardware, but I rarely if ever use swap - so I don't *think* that it should
take so long-

Here's my top stats

28 processes:  1 running, 27 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.4% system,  1.9% interrupt, 97.7% idle
Mem: 184M Active, 28M Inact, 51M Wired, 60M Buf, 231M Free
Swap: 999M Total, 999M Free


Here are some of my scan times

I don't know if it is not applicable for anyone. Both offer rsync services 
for fees:

I'm afraid that rsyncing of spamhaus and spamcop is not applicable for
anyone ;)

Rsync all RBLs, which are listed in the spamassassin config and integrate
them into a local rbldnsd. it really helps fasten up scanning

It could be caused by DNS lookups taking longer.  That would be my guess
for anything taking more than 5 seconds.
