What are you doing? :) About the only thing that would cause such cpu utilisation in your setup are unindexed mysql tables. Be sure to check there if everything is indexed apropriately. All kinds of mail load are mostly i/o hungry. So if you suspect some problem with your setup, put your postfix mail queues and cyrus mailstore on somekind of ramdisk (tmpfs or similiar) and benchmark small changes to the setup there. For example, our ~200k users cyrus server runs on dual p3 1.2ghz on 30 15k rpm fc disks in raid10 and cpu loads hovers around 20% on average with a couple of hundred active connections. I/o wait is keeping loadavg above 1 most of the time, with peaks over 5 every now and then. -- Jure PeÄar
