With the line commented, you are actually not running SNF. When you uncomment the line SNF is engaged. You are processing quite a few messages on this box... If I have my math right you'd need to average almost 5 per second to get to 400k per day, and your peaks would be quite large. In most cases you should run a persistent instance of SNF to improve performance. Here's some detail on running a persistent instance: http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Help/PersistentHelp.html You can also find information in the mail archives about setting up a persistent instance to run as a service.
