I think consumed resources (CPU cycles, memory, disk I/O, electricity) might become interesting when it comes to compare different MTAs for a high volume scenario on a server at some cloud service provider. (depending on the cost model those providers are using to calculate their billing of course). I believe: It will be very difficult to construct a realistic MTA-benchmark suite with reproducible results. There are way too many different interacting factors. > Would anybody be willing to share performance stats? > (In a first step: submit the results from a tailored eximstats output?) What kind of information do you expect?
