OK.  First of all, on Solaris, it is mandatory to put /var/spool/MIMEDefang
on a tmpfs file system; otherwise, your machine will buckle under the load.

I would try it as-is; it should be powerful enough.  Limit your max slaves
to around 9 or 10 to avoid swapping too much.  If the machine seems slow
and often runs out of slaves, add another 256MB.
