We have two servers, one for dialups with a single domain and 5000
accounts, another for domain accounts, both machines are the same
hardware.

Domain mail - a Sparc 20 with 512mb ram and dual 195mhz CPUs. We have
200+ domains and over 1000 accounts with spamfiltering. We trigger spamc
from .qmail files via a custom script, creating each user a separate
prefs and bayes database. We average 3 to 9 seconds to process a message 
at the rate of 7k to 10k messages a day through SA.  

Ok...What I did to lower processing time,

I dropped all DNS checks. I let rblsmtpd do that, that is 30k messages 
a day SA doesn't have to process. 

I dropped Razor.

I dropped DCC.

I moved spamc to the .qmail file, no sense processing a message that has
no local delivery.

qmail, SA 2.55. Hope that helps.
