Are you running it by itself (to help prevent the server from getting 
infected), or with Declude (to help prevent the spread of viruses to 
users)?  If you are using it just to help protect the server, you may want 
to exclude the user directories (the ones with the .mbx files in them), and 
possibly the spool directory as well.  The .mbx files can take a long time 
to scan when they get big, and they have to get scanned very often (at 
least once for each E-mail that is received, but the entire .mbx file gets 
scanned, not just the new E-mail, and McAfee probably can't detect many/any 
viruses in the .mbx file).

If you disable the scanning of the user directories, it should improve your 
performance quite a bit.
