The most effective way I've found to lower the SA footprint is to limit
the mail that gets to it by using some triage on the MTA side.  SA as a
standalone tool might benefit from some kind of triage functionality to
kill messages immediately as per a "blacklist" rule.  The blacklist
rule(s) would be run against the messages before the normal ruleset was
applied.  If any of the blacklist rules were triggered, the message
would be dropped without further scanning.  
I am not sure that messages after positive blacklist check will be dropped.
As far as I see, SA just adds 100 points to this message and continues checking.
And I am not sure about the order of rules in checking process.
