Hmmm .... 3 might be cool (2:1), but I found that with only 1 saboteur 40% of the time when you play with 5 players, there usually wasn't much doubt that the good guys were going to win.
With larger numbers of players, and more saboteurs, there seemed to be greater uncertainty and more options ... until you hit about 9, at which point the game started bogging down.
But all this said I do rather like the game. I felt that Saboteur actually delivered on the interesting traitor dynamics that Shadows of Camelot was trying for. I agree the balance is off, but it's not so badly off that it ruins the game.
