I also use unofficial signatures from several vendors. Today someone 
decided to clean out signatures. It s a bit faster now.

I use virtual Servers with Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz, 16 GB RAM 
and 100% SSD. I could download every hour because I get a 0 hour 
signature db. But I've set the interval for the checks much lower during 
office hours and higher during out of office hours to minimize the 
chance of a collision between reloading and sending an e-Mail.
