That sounds very slow to me. What's the load average on your server like?
Nothing hogging all your RAM or nicking your CPU by any chance?

MailScanner should be a *lot* faster than that. I run it here on 2
Ultra-5's and they handle our department's mail load (13,000 incoming per
day) with very great ease.
