I suggest that you rely on some "proof".

What if you blocked the spammers completely -- found some magic rage of
IP addresses and banned them completely -- and your CPU usage was still
skyrocketing?  Well, at least you would have fewer spammers but you
already said you weren't actually worried about spam, just CPU usage.

Make sure you're focused on the right solution to your CPU problem.
