Some time back I looked at this, running MD and AMAVIS on the same box.
Moving all the virus scanners to MD did result in a slight performance boost
over running them from AMAVIS and calling SpamAssassin from MD.

Mind you, I get relatively little email (200-300 mails a day) on fairly low
end hardware (512 MB RAM, 1 GHz Celeron).  YMMV.


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may be
ignored utterly.
