If you can duplicate this behavior on a manual scan of a test message,
there are debug flags and a timing plugin that will help troubleshoot
performance problems.

There's no single place to look; you have to dig around in svn:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/
or diff the update files yourself.
sa-update cleans up after itself, so you'd have to download the older
update and then do a recursive diff locally.
You can go here for the log of sandbox generated score commits:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/scores/72_scores.cf?view=log
Pick the two revisions of interest, note the revision numbers _in the
comments_ (e.g. revision 1030355 for the Nov. 4 commit), and run this to
get the update tarball, substituting the revision number in the obvious
place:
wget http://buildbot.spamassassin.org.nyud.net:8090/updatestage/1030355.tar.gz
create subdirectories, untar in the subdirectories (the tarballs do not
provide any directory structure), and then do a recursive diff of the two
directories. Tools for doing the recursive diff are left as an exercise
for the student... :)
I don't know how long old updates are retained on the buildbot servers or
mirrors, but it does go back to at least April 2010.
