When CF sends mail (assuming you don't have spoolEnable set to false), it simply writes a file in the mail spool, it doesn't send the mail. This lets your request finish processing quickly, without having to wait for your mail server to actually process all the messages. Then at some interval (60 seconds, by default, I believe), CF uses a background process to send the mail from the spool directory to the mail server for actual delivery. It's this second step that you're seeing the slowdown happening. It might be the network betwee the CF server and the mail server, or it might be the mail server itself. I'm not sure how you'd test, since I'm not a Microsoft guy, but surely there's a way to do it.
