Daniel,

I strongly recommend to turn on network tests for a simple reason: SA 
simply will catch lots more spam this way.
Naturally, wainting for all the test queries to return a result takes 
time. SA (i.e. the MAil::SpamAssassin code) will not use many resources 
in that time )apart from the loads of RAM every amavisd-maia consumes).
I strongly suggest you invest into more RAM - get another 2 Gig and see 
how many amavisd-maia processes can be run simultaneously without 
hitting swap.
Also you could set up a caching nameserver on localhost to speed up the 
DNS lookups.

HTH
