2-5 seconds per batch is pretty fast. Anything under 1 minute is acceptable IMHO.<br>
Why the concern about scan times?? Email isn't IM :-). Seriously why the concern about scan times?<br>

The concern is that I am eventually looking to have over 10,000 users, so will be receiving, and then sending, multiple emails per second.<br>
Even now, with only 1,500 users, people have started reporting "Too many concurrent SMTP connections; Please try again later"<br>
They only started seeing this message after I turned on SpamAssassin. I am thinking that perhaps, as 99% of the emails we receive are not spam, that scanning for spam may be an unnecessary luxury, once email volumes reach a certain level.<br>
