For this reason alone it's worthwhile upgrading.  I've got LISTSERV,
LSMTP and F-Secure all running on a very modestly spec'd machine (P200,
128MB RAM).  With 5.30 it would run sluggishly but mail would still flow
smoothly.  Since upgrading to 5.40 I've noticed it responds a lot more
quickly and the Resource Monitor doesn't look so scary when I open it.

Our LISTSERV box sits in the DMZ so we've only got the belt (or the
suspenders, depending on your style...) but it still does an admirable
job of blocking viruses.

DEFINITELY worth the effort.  It's such a shame that you were only
limited to Linux and Windows users, though.
