I have spamassassin-3.0.4-1.fc4 installed on my laptop with 256 Mb of memory. 

I know, there was similar problems like bug 126792, bug 141150 and bug 151433
but since I can reopen them let me describe once again:

I just have spamassassin service enabled by default and it seems that evolution
starts local spamd if it doesn't find spamd in system. but after start spamd
spawns 5 processes and each eats 26 Mb of memory (about half of my system
memory). It became impossible to compile program and get mail.

Currently I've changed option to run spamd to -m1 to spawn only 1 process, but
even 50 Mb constantly occupied of memory it too much for spam checking.
