One thing I do is put the spamassassin filter for evolution further down in the list after I have moved all mailing list messages to other folders. This way spamassassin is run on fewer messages. Should greatly speed up your system since very few spam messages are sent out by the lists. One server I setup uses sendmail/procmail to run all messages through spamassassin using spamc in a procmail rule. According to the logs it takes at most a few seconds most are sub second times to process.
