The counter-point, to claims that email is i/o bound, is that modern
requirements for filtering alter the equation quite a bit.

That's why I was intrigued to hear the comments about being i/o bound come from
folk doing empirical -- real-world -- testing of DKIM.

That said, these days it is nearly always true that one can set up a server hub
to use most of the cpu, no matter how much i/o they have.
