That not a easy question to answer.
If you run spamassassin as daemon, it helps you to save much time for
loading and precompiling all the modules and regexps.

Using sa-exim COULD prevent you to save further CPU-Cycles, as the checks
will be done very early.

You should setup sa-exim in a way that it ONLY checks mails coming from
untrusted sources, that will safe you some more load.

I think with two similar servers it could be done, if you are careful with
your settings, and you are doing some other checks while RCPT-Time
(receiver/sender-verify and RBL-stuff) even 500000 mails could be handled.
