Rob,

Not sure if there are specific iSeries tunings, but if so we would love to 
hear it.

Here is what Trend states about the incremental scan:

"The Incremental Scanning saves considerable server time and resources. 
Incremental scanning allows selective scanning of new and newly modified 
documents only during Manual and Scheduled database scans. Documents that 
have been scanned need not be scanned again."

This should mean that you shouldn't miss anything since is is scanning new 
and modified documents since the last scan. Of course if you have a new 
virus from before the pattern update in an existing, unchanged document 
then you may have that to worry about. One thing you could do is change 
the manual dbscan to only include the mail folder and not perform 
incremental scan (this could save a little time).

How often are you running PUPDATE?
