Are you just having a timeout problem at this point, or are you also
having the CPU/Load issue?

If it's just the timeout, have you tried raising the mailscanner timeout
threshold?  I raised mine from 30 to 90, I think (before 2.50 even), and
things were much smoother.  But this is on a machine that just serves
my home.

If you're talking about a machine that serves a HUGE volume of messages,
I might look into disabling external lookups (RBL's, Razor, etc).  Those
will kill ya.
