I already covered what would occur for OWA. ActiveX and JavaScript are plenty powerful for processing rules. And certainly most PCs nowadays have tons of available CPU. The results of the rules processing would be sent back to Exchange to implement in the data store, but the actual compares and decisions would be offloaded. It probably wouldn't happen on a mobile device, so there are still limits.
Indexing and search are definitely server-oriented tasks. I'm only addressing rules processing.
There are other things that can be done to improve Exchange performance. Front-ending Exchange with a spam blocker (appliance or service) will cut down on server resource utilization, for instance. Last I heard, our corporate domain has 4-6 million spams blocked a month by our anti-spam gateway. Our Exchange farm never never has to process that junk.

Subject: Re: [PCTECH] 32KB Size Limit to Rules on Exchange ?
We are on Exchange 2007.
Good. Was worried there. The default size in '07 should be 64K, so the
32K threw me.
As for pushing the rules to the client, cool idea, but one problem, what
if there's isn't a client? What's the "client" for OWA or OMA? One of
the cool things about exchange is that there is a "server" to do all
sorts of "server-like" stuff like rules, indexing, full-text-search,
etc.
