Your server should be able to handle that load quite easily. I'm guessing
a configuration issue, rather than a server issue.

If you run Task Manager, and sort the processes by CPU time, which ones are
highest?

Note that Declude JunkMail can sometimes add up to about a minute to the
delivery time of E-mails, although it is typically only a couple of seconds
(depending on how recently an E-mail was received from the remote
mailserver). But it sounds like you have much longer delays.
Do you ever send out bulk E-mail (mailing lists, for example)? That can
cause lengthy delays in delivery of E-mail, but if you are running Declude
JunkMail, then Declude Queue will be running which should minimize those
delays.
Have you checked the log files for an E-mail that took a while to be
delivered? You can first check the WebShield logs to see what time the
E-mail was received by WebShield, then you can check the IMail/Declude logs
to see when IMail received it, when Declude finished scanning it, and when
it was delivered. That should help track down where the delay is.
