high cpu usage!!!

I already tried changing "Notify Senders = No" but still the load is very
high. My idle is always at 0%. What else can I do to make the cpu load goes
lower from MailScanner?

FYI, my system is using P3 1ghz with 512mb RAM which I think is good enough
to run MailScanner or is it not?

Thanks in advance.
