Thanks guys.

To a certain degree, yes. The various pieces of the toaster
(mail/spam/antivirus) run as independent processes, so they would run
concurrently. 'top' will show each cpu's usage.
That being said, whether it'll be faster or not depends on where your
present toaster is constrained. As an extreme example, if the toaster's
running on a 256k DSL line, I don't think you'd see an improvement, as the
network speed would be the limiting factor.
If you don't have enough ram (512M makes a very comfortable toaster), then
adding another CPU won't help.
Be careful tuning spamassassin, as it can be a memory hog. Too many SA
processes for the amount of ram you have can actually slow things down. As
always, keep paging to a minimum for best performance.
