Few quick tips:
- Try to see what is the filter which kills your CPU, maybe it's unnecessary?
- Use the RAZOR2 filter, PYZOR, DCC
- Use bayes filter ("teach" sa using sa-learn)
In my place a single-core old AMD handles it pretty well (but I have low
traffic). I get about 1-2 false negatives per day (to my single mail box).
