I found that on Exim Mailing List, it might help.

500 messages a day is nothing for Celereon 400.
I used to supply services for 600 accounts on P166 before moving to better
computer.
only my account is charge for getting 300 messages a day and sending 30 :)

The reason to change the server hardware was availability of stronger
computer and not performance issues.
