Indeed, some selected RDJ rulesets greatly enhance the effectiveness of out-of-the-box spamassassin. However, I stopped using RDJ a year ago, since sa-update does pretty much the same job, and is an integral part of spamassassin now.
If you worked with SA before, can you maybe answer the question while SA seems slow? I'm the only user on this system using it, Should I run it as a daemon instead of using the perl-modules?
hkwint:

How are you using it now? The way I've always run it is as a daemon on the smtp server, or to be more accurate, the spamassassin image is loaded into memory by amavis, and sits waiting for messages to scan. small messages typically pass through in a few milliseconds, large ones may take several seconds to scan.
