Spamd is the spamassassin daemon. Its normal for spamd to use a lot of resources if you are getting a large amount of spam. However if you think its hanging up for a long time, try /scripts/autorepair spamd_dbm_fix /etc/init.d/exim restart

Try to check the output of this the total no of spamd processes running, ps aux | grep spamd | wc -l
