If you're interested in testing/tuning spamassassin for heavy loads you
should consider using spamd daemon. Then you may use SLAMD [1] as
performance evaluation platform [2].

It takes some effort to set up the environment, but SLAMD helps in
repetitive testing and keeping track of the results (comparison,
history, charts).
