Wow, you might want to look at upgrading your postfix installation.. and
there is also a newer release of MailScanner out that may benefit you.

As far as tweaks, not sure.. are you doing greylisting.. do you do any
RBL checks at the MTA level?  These are things that could possibly drop
the amount of email your server has to munge through.
