SpamAssassin's whitelisting system acts only as a score bias. It is not an
absolute whitelist that bypasses scanning all together. Never has been.

You don't have a config bug, you're just running into a limitation of SA's
internal whitelist system. 

Most "true" whitelists are best implemented in the tools calling spamc in the
first place (ie: modify your procmailrc to bypass calling spamc). You'll save
even more CPU overhead this way to boot.

Also the number of spam words in the email shouldn't significantly change the
time to scan a message or increase your load average. You might be having DNS
timeouts, or other problems where SA is waiting for something to time out. I'd
consider looking at your system config and posting on the mailing list asking
for help with load avg problems.
