Clamdscan is not running at delivery time on that box, it's running on
another machine. 

On my graph I labeled the NIGHTLY scan (when nobody's doing anything,
they're sleeping).

See my graph, compare left side with the right side. Do you see the
difference?

Left side: high load (dovecot 2.0, same machine, same users)
Right side: low load (dovecot 1.2, same machine, same users)
middle: completely unrelated clamdscan in the middle of the night (when nobody's doing anything, they're sleeping - thus I'm running the scan)
