Hi,

	I know that MailScanner gets its efficiency by processing messages in 
batches (hence loading SA and AV engines only once per batch.  I was 
looking at the average size of my batches, and it rarely goes over 10, 
which is far from the standard max size of 30.  Would I get more 
efficiency by lowering my # of child process?  Would I have the same 
performance if I get struck by a spam storm?

	Open to opinions...

Regards,
