how many users can Cyrus server support? -- is 5.5 msg/sec slow?

Hi,

I have been trying my best to get better delivery speed of Cyrus server. Now
I am stop at 5.5 mesg/sec. I wonder, can any body tell me how many users can
your cyrus mail server support? --no matter what system or configuration you
are using. Also if you can tell me how many emails through put you can get
from your mail server? -- that will be the best. 

Right now, I don't know is 5.5 msg/sec slow or not. 

5.5 * 3600 * 24 = 475200 msg/day 

If each user send 4 mails per hour, 4 * 24 =96 msg/day

475200 / 96 = 4950 users

That means my cyrus mail server can only support 4950 users. That is not
much for a big organization. 

So can you let me know the max number of users you can support on your
system or max though put msg/sec? If 5.5 msg/sec if the right number, I just
stop trying :)

Thank you.
