Novell's created an open-source mail server project called Hula that's based in part in part from their original NetMail codebase. It's aim is to provide a mail server that's easy to use and also scalable. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, but have only heard about this.
Although performance is important, it also depends on your development environment. For some of the work I do I need a database (PostgreSQL), and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to have the database, Java Application Server and IDE working on the one box so that if I need to work from home I can.
Although Windows does have postgres available via. Cygwin, I had some difficulty installing it on my windows box... so I got a Mac instead.:)

How about this for the original and then this for the result and also have a look at this for an alternative
