Well, that's pretty bad.  I see:

Jul  7 04:05:49 wopr spamd[66708]: identified spam (8.4/5.0) for mph:501 in 4.0 seconds, 1206 bytes. 
Jul  7 04:08:18 wopr spamd[66726]: clean message (-5.3/5.0) for mph:501 in 7.1 seconds, 2553 bytes. 

This is on a Cyrix 6x86 (166 MHz 486-class CPU) with no L2 cache.  :-)

Is the machine heavily loaded with other work?  Assuming that there are
no messages between the ones you posted, it doesn't look like the machine
is overburdened by mail alone.
