Before that I was setting up Cyrus IMAP mail servers on Linux and there was no such problems. Maybe it's OS issue? I also have set up such system on Celeron 800MHz, 256MB RAM and 80GB SEAGATE (FreeBSD 4.11), the results are aproximately the same. For SMTP i'm using Postfix, and it also shows bad results on data transfer.
Cyrus and Postfix both make very heavy use of fsync() to flush data to disk before they confirm actions back to the sending system. RAID controllers or disk boxes with battery backed writeback cache help lots.
