Is murder even necessary for such a configuration? Based on the numbers on

more easily swallowed "4 CPU box with 8 GB RAM" than they did "lots of little

It depend. If they make intensive use of SSL (POP3S and IMAPS), I guess
they risk becoming CPU-bound, in which case it might be easier to split
the load among multiple frontends.
