Yes, that's what it means.

It will not.  Do you have any extra SpamAssassin rulesets?  Some
rulesets are not very well written and use tons of CPU time.  I recommend
removing all rulesets except those actually shipped with SpamAssassin
and then enabling them one at a time until you find the culprit.
