We run it for about 20k mailboxes, 80k+ messages a day. The reliability problems you mention are probably caused by AVP's wrapper program, if it is anything like their qmail one. It was leaving zombie processes all over my machine and consuming far too much memory. I replaced it with qmail-scanner and haven't had a single problem since.
