I recently wrote a multi-threaded postgrey daemon in C as the original postgrey (written in perl) was taking up far too much CPU. With high concurrent load (2000 clients or more), the original postgrey would easily take 70-80% of the CPU, and I would see lots of timeouts. My new daemon takes up less than 10% CPU under the same load and I've not seen a timeout yet. /Per Jessen, Zürich
