The downstream re-injection port concurrency is a bit higher than the
concurrency into the filter.

Below is the chain a message follows : 

smtpd (port 25, 100) -> spawn/kas-pipe (port 9026, 50) ->
spawn/smtpscanner (port 10025, 60) -> spawn (port 9025, 70).

spawn/kas-pipe (port 9026, 50) : to antispam
spawn/smtpscanner (port 10025, 60) : to antivirus
spawn (port 9025, 70) : back to postfix

So I guess my problem is with the antivirus...

However I have no issue with CPU,Ram utilisation and Disk IO Wait.
