I also have seen my load decrease since I have less email being processed
by spamassassin and crm114. Doesn't help so much in a gateway situation.
What really will help is that I DENYHARD emails to invalid addresses, which
means I save a lot of bandwidth by disconnecting spammers before the data post.
This probably also helps processing time.
