Does the virus scan affect IMail Server processing speed?

Scanning mail messages for viruses adds approximately a 20 – 25% load on the mail server, and can result in slightly slower processing. To distribute the processing load, you can install the IMail Anti-Virus server on a separate server from the IMail Server system, but this should only be necessary for installations with a large number of mail users (for example, 4000 + users).
