We have < 20 users on our mailserver, hopefully it can handle that load on that hardware... I do think that more RAM is the answer - it takes 14M per concurrent incoming message for the processing time. Once you start swapping you're hosed. Perhaps SA would be better implemented in something else, but like everyone else says, memory is cheap. Whatever makes the SA developers most effective is fine by me at this point.
