I have been talking to this company since last november.. and I'm in the 
process of doing an eval.  I have an enterprise cyrus/sqm install with 
about 2500 accounts.  I can't yet speak for speed... as the performance 
tests will come a little later... but in my environment it's not just 
about raw speed.  This is a very cool combination of software and it 
supports (or will support) HA and load balanced clustering with gfs and 
all sorts of plugins for linking the content of messages out to external 
data.. like it will recognize a ups tracking number and you can hover 
over it in webmail and it tells you the status in a little mouseover 
popup.  You can also link to internal apps.. like being able to right 
click on a company PO number and check status.. approve/decline etc.  
This has the potential to be much more than just another mail server.
