Sudden problem with SA/Amavis/Postfix

Running Fedora core 3, SA 3.something, P4 with 1gig. ram.

Thursday afternoon, I noticed that the processor on the mail server is working 
overtime.  Top shows 0.0 idle cpu, everything is slow to a crawl.

To make a long story short, it looks like it has to do with Bayes.  Every time I 
would forward a spam to sa-learn, it will bring the system to a crawl, sa-learn 
will show in 'top' for about 30 seconds, idle will be 0.0, and then it will clear 
and come up right away.  Moved the bayes file to another folder and let it start 
building new ones.  No difference.  If it is doing it during the weekend when 
things are slow, I can imagine what will happen on Monday :-(.

Any thoughts?  Did anybody seen this before?

Thanks.
