Yes the old server was a Quad PII - 4 Intel 400Mhz processors, it ran like a

I could find on the internet to make it work better. I think the problem is
VMWare Server 2 - it's just slow. Unfortunately I could not use Xen or KVM
because of the old processors. From what I could research, they would have
worked much better. I am pretty anxious to see how this runs on another
server with dual Intel 3.Ghz processors. Unfortunately they aren't dual
core, but we should still see some marked improvement.
I'm actually testing/using VirtualBox for things right now. I think in
the long run that running a large mailserver on any virtual environment
is a bad idea.
I'll need to verify, but I think even the "big official" mail server
packages are not supported if run in virtual environment and probably
for reasons like this.
