Don't bother (as Ask says); run forkserver instead. My primary MX boxes are
Cobalt RaQ3's which are about as lightweight as you can get (AMD-K6 @998
bogomips). Try to max out the RAM, though, since it is usually dirt cheap for
older boxes.

The high_perf branch was merged to trunk and currently doesn't function as a
complete system (like tags/0.31 does) since not all of the plugins have been
rewritten to use the new code.
My advice mirrors Ask's; here is my run file:
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1 \
envdir ./env \
sh -c '
exec \
softlimit ${DATALIMIT+"-d$DATALIMIT"} \
${PERL-perl} -T ./qpsmtpd-forkserver \
--listen-address "${IP-0}" \
--port "${PORT-25}" \
--limit-connections "${MAXCLIENTS-15}" \
--user "${QPUSER-smtpd}"
'
If you don't want to run envdir, you can just replace those ${} constructs with
the actual values you want to use. FWIW, what I am using is:
env/DATALIMIT:25000000
env/IP:my.ip.addr.ess
env/MAXCLIENTS:15
env/PERL:/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.1
env/PORT:25
env/QPUSER:qmaild
I actually have to specify my Perl because the Cobalt runs 5.6.1 as the system
Perl and I don't want to break the system utilities...
