I've never found it particularly necessary to tune exim, out of the box with a basic configuration it handles itself very well and scales nicely even up to heavy loads. I've used it in 100k+ e-mails a day environments without any stability or performance problems. It's a rather popular mail server in the UK, possibly by nature of it's origins at Cambridge.
I've not spent much time using postfix, but every time I have it's been relatively straightforward and intuitive as well. Always seems to perform well too :)
I rather feel its a bit of a case of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Both tackle the same problem from slightly different angles, and both have achieved excellence in their own ways.
There is a great introduction to configuring exim on this site: http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk

Thanx guys, this is as much as I thought :) There's no real benefit in choosing one over the other, but rather use what I know.
