Scott?   hmm, I know Imail rules doing the scanning can really slow down 
Imail, and I know postfix scanning can also eat a bunch of cpu if you are 
not super careful about the regex's.  So I really can't see how Declude 
scanning can scan without taking any CPU resources??

Since pop is basically "emtpy the mailbox file" out to the user's mail 
progarm, I assume pop3d is mainly concerned with reading the disk, so I 
expect my first suggestion of 1) separate queue disk from mailbox disk and 
2) much faster disks would relieve the pop3d congestion.

again, delivering fat attachments to 20 mailboxes in one chunk is a lot of 
intensive disk i/o.  Faster disk is ALWAYS better on mail servers.
