Use top(1) to to view processes. With Red Hat, using the sadc (system activity data collector) with sa and sar can easily tell you wwhat processes/programs are your resource hogs.

No performance issues using vm-pop3d, exim (MTA), apache and OpenWebMail with around 10,000 email accounts on similar hardware. In the past, when using qpopper with 10-15,000 accounts, I improved performance by using qpopper "server" mode. Good luck, Jeremy C.
