Performance Advisory
RSA Email DLP - Enabling RSA Email DLP for outbound traffic on an appliance 
that is also running anti-spam and anti-virus scanning on inbound traffic can cause 
a performance decrease of less than 10%. Appliances that are only running 
outbound messages and are not running anti-spam and anti-virus may experience 
a significant performance decline.
DomainKeys - DomainKeys signing outgoing email can cause a decrease in the 
message throughput capacity. Using smaller signing keys (512 byte or 768 byte) 
can mitigate this. 
SBNP - SenderBase Network Participation now uses the Context Adaptive 
Scanning Engine (CASE) to collect data to power IronPort Information Services. 
In some configurations customers may experience a moderate performance 
decline.
Virus Outbreak Filters - Virus Outbreak Filters now uses the Context Adaptive 
Scanning Engine to determine the threat level of a message and scores messages 
based on a combination of Adaptive Rules and Outbreak Rules. In some 
configurations, you may experience a moderate performance decline.
IronPort Spam Quarantine - Enabling the IronPort Spam Quarantine on-box for 
a C-Series or X-Series appliance causes a minimal reduction in system throughput 
for nominally loaded appliances. For appliances that are running near or at peak 
throughput, the additional load from an active quarantine may cause a throughput 
reduction of 10-20%. If your system is at or near capacity, and you desire to use 
the IronPort Spam Quarantine, consider migrating to a larger C-Series appliance 
or an M-Series appliance.
