General Consensus on RSS and Exchange Outlook Performance

We are getting ready to put our 2007 Exchange server into production.  My
intention was to disable RSS feeds as it is a component that will waste space
on the server and take up bandwidth while Outlook is pulling those feeds.  We
have Outlook 2007 by the way.  So I guess I would like a general consensus on
the impact of RSS feeds on Exchange 2007 and if you feel this should be
turned off / or limited somehow?  I do not want to just disbale what can be
used as a "Feature" but if it is generally thought that this is bad to have
enabled and is more of a strain on the server than I have no issue doing so.

Server HP DL580 G4 with 32 GB RAM and 8 dual core processors at 3Ghz.
1600 mailboxes spread over 5 Information stores.
A/P cluster scenario
Generally activity is moderate at about 800,000 messages per month

Thanks!

I dont think it a performance issue to worry about.
It if causes you problems, then you have bigger problems.
