I've been running SA on a Cobalt Qube since 2.42 was current, and it's
been a wonderful solution. Recently I moved to running spamd -d to

seeing processor loads in the 30's, and my poor little Qube is buckling
under the load- I can't ssh in, email exchanges time out, ect.
What else can I do to make SA run as quickly as possible- besides the obvious "buy a bigger server"?
I don't think tuning is going to get your loads down much from the 30's.
Assuming a best case optimization gives you a 10% to 15% improvement, your
box will still be overloaded. How many emails per hour/day are you receiving
and over what link speed?
Last 24 hr period (4A-4A) was 1350 messages, over a 768K DSL line.
