Depends on your rate of mail and how much CPU you have.. That said, SA is rather CPU intensive. If you've got a steady stream of mail, you'll have a steady stream of CPU usage. My question would be how can you tell that it's SA using 23-60% when you're using MailScanner? (SA is called internal to MailScanner, so all of MS/SA get's lumped under one process.. And if you use clamavmodule instead of clamav in MailScanner.conf then clamav's work get's lumped in too)
