Well, that depends on the cpu(s) of course.
we average around 5% processor utilization on a HP netserver
with dual 350Mhz processors and 196M RAM during our peak
daytime hours.  we pass ~120 mails a minute at our peaks and
have stress tested the box at over 10 times that load.  our hardware
is way overkill for this application however we wanted the box to
be able to handle in the event the load increased dramatically :^)
