The question is not how processing one mail compares, but how 10 per second compare in each scenario. That's where the win is - lower total cpu utilization to accomplish the same work. But your numbers are really wacked out for duration. I grabbed a log of 16418 mailed processed since the log rolled over last. Only a third of them took more than 1 second - 4749. Only a eighth of them took over 2 seconds - 2008, less than 2% took over 5 seconds - 301, and a very tiny fraction (less than a half percent) took over 10 seconds - just 74 -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281
