I agree with the earlier post regarding putting IMS on a dedicated machine. Also, does you r outgoing mail track un subscribes, open rate, link tracking, bounces etc? If so, all this CF activity will also slow down your IMS box.
You may want to use a different box to handle all of the CF activity generated from outgoing campaigns. After all, if you send 200k emails, each one with a trackable gif in it, thats 200k cf requests / db requests coming back in as your mail is still going out (in some cases). Which could slow down both processes.
