Why do you limit spamd to 4 processes?

Because my mail server is painfully underpowered and spamd seems to place a fair amount of load on it -- see my other recent message about "dealing with huge mail floods"; it gives some of the specs. Basically, when I let spamd run as many of itself as it likes, then when a spammer tries to mail many of my users all at once, the multiple spamds spike my CPU load enough that *nothing* gets done.

 Where nothing cuts you deeper than your own blade."
