That will leak memory like you wouldn't believe.  You need
to call:

   $mail->finish();
   $status->finish();

before returning.  If it happens that those are what's taking a long time,
then your fix may make spamassassin run faster... at the cost of leaking
memory like a sieve and littering /tmp with thousands of files. :-(
