I gave before and after statistics.  It was the same hardware and with 
our volume the input is pretty much the same each day.  The results 
speak for themselves.  What were overloaded servers with huge delays now 
run fine.  The fact that MailScanner gets fewer messages isn't really 
the point other than it improves performance.   Steve is correct, it's 
not for everybody.  If your message load is small you probably don't 
need it.   There really isn't much else to say about it.   For us the 
results were dramatic!
