For your type of volume it should be rare to see 25+ declude processes running at one time. From my experience when I have seen this it always pointed to a flaky or malfunctioning DNS server. The other caveat is depending on how many and the type of body filters you have could cause this.
Something does seem wrong if your driving the cpu at 100% with a message volume of 2000 messages per hour with that type of box. Again, depending on your configuration of Declude this type of performance could be normal..

Hi,
I know that the answer to this question is a big "it depends" but I am
trying to get a feel if I have the server mostly configured correctly or
am I missing things.
I have a 1.4 GHz Celeron CPU with 512MB RAM and a RAID 1 hard drive
system. We are pushing the CPU to 100% and close to 100% a lot of the
time during core business hours. Declude log files report that we are
processing 12 to 15 thousand messages a day. Based on a quick script I
created I am seeing some hours where we are dealing with 2000 messages
in that hour. I have also looked at Task Manager and at times I see 20
to 25 Declude processes running concurrently.
I have a number of BODY search filters that I am skipping if a bypass
filter was triggered (for things like PDF attachments etc). I also have
two AV scanners F-Prot and McAfee.
So the question is: With this setup should I be able to a lot more
messages per hour/day or am I lucky that I am doing as many as I am.
I would appreciate any thoughts/speculation etc
Thanx
