I'm running inn 2.3 on Debian woody on a Sparc 5-mumble[1] without any
troubles.  I'm carrying much of the same groups you are (from looking at
your later post) plus more -- my daily feed is between 80 and 100MB (or
up to 250 when one of the HipClones are having a good day).  Stats from
one of those good days as follows:

As you can see, it copes well enough.  That's with the Debian package
of INN.  If you want any more details, stats, etc, there are some on
my we page --

* http://www.mathie.cx/news/ has the daily reports
* http://www.mathie.cx/mrtg/ gives you an idea of the load average
  although this isn't exactly indicative of anything because the same
  machine also hosts everything else for my domain -- web, mail, cvs,
  shell, etc....

If you'd like any more detailed information, feel free to mail me.

[1] 70, I think.  It's certainly not a 110 or 170.
