I don't see how a MailWatch database can affect the performance of your
incoming Postfix; especially when the database is on a separate server.

Also the size of the database has nothing to do with query speed
provided indexed queries are used...

You should follow my advice and restart with 'Log Speed = yes' before
this reoccurs as it will allow you to see how long each batch is taking
and work out what is causing the slowness.   Also; when this does
reoccur - the output of 'ps axf | grep -i mailscanner' would also help
to pinpoint where things are getting stuck.

Kind regards,
Steve.
