mail.ateneo.net has been imp for the very long time. loading??? i am
afraid...not quite... so far IMP's tables are not very well designed.
imagine all the address book information of each user will be contained in
a single table??? strange... maybe we just have to throw in more hardware.

but, if you want IMP to scale with COTS (commodity-off-the-shelf) hardware
an IMP farm can be used. then a HTTP redirector, web accelerator(squid) or
DNS round-robin can be use to throw the users to a different IMP machine.
this would probably scale better.
