Here we are using clamav-0.88.4 with MailScanner-4.56.1 on a Celeron 2.8 with 512 MB of RAM. We don't use clamd - just clamscan. That works like a charm with from 15 to 25 thousand messages a day. There is never a backlog of more than a couple of minutes. We are just using a standard clone with ordinary IDE drive. On the other hand with our earlier server, using an AMD-K6 500 MHz with only 256 MB of RAM we did struggle at times when there was a large batch of incoming mail. Have a look at your swap usage - ideally it should be used very little or not at all. If it is being used then consider adding more RAM.
