Just ran a small message through a few thousand recipients on the Cyrus test box.
The test box is a SunFire V120. The number of recipients was 5132. The total delivery took about 3 minutes, during which the load average hit 17 (and sendmail refused a few connections). The original message was 1 K, and a single delivered message was about 2.5 K. Disk space used after delivery was approximately 133 K.
I think my V240 will be plenty beefy, particularly with the Xserve RAID.
