I don't worry about resource issues with a dedicated box. But I still feel that a single solution ought to be adequate.

Running WP-Spamfree means that Akismet doesn't have to ever touch the
majority of spam. While it may not make a huge difference, the communication
of spam to Akismet and the response back could amount to significant
bandwidth/processor usage on less robust hosts. WP-Spamfree -- and other solutions, like Bad Behavior -- help squelch spam so that further filtering
is used far less often.

In my sample of 12,000 spam comments Akismet has missed less than 10. As far as I can tell running another spam filter could only lead to false
positives.

Running both WP-SpamFree & Akismet isn't a waste; if anything, it's smart
or
at least smarter. Spam free blocks a lot of spam, but if it comes from a human, it's pretty ineffective. In that event, Akismet is there to catch
what gets through.

What about the reverse?

What is Akismet missing?
