	Yeah, it's a major difference if they use POP or WebMail, too.

	We don't have a server that big, but with the latest update a
few months back combined with the memory upgrade CPX is way faster now.
If they weren't on the same domain you could split one group onto
another server if necessary.  Possibly offload clamd and/or spamd too
onto another server if you run those (though I suppose that breaks the
"CPX way" with the checkboxes there in the control panel).
