I know it doesn't seem right, I agree, but simply adding the smart router adds a significant delay on the client end. I have observed this directly. Is

No. All I can suggest is that you run the server in debug mode, with and
without the smart router, with timestamping turned on, and see if the
debug output give you any clue as to what is happening.

I suspect a delay caused by DNS lookups during address verification.
Check the DNS setup of the smarthost.

I think I solved the root of the problem, which was that I had simply added the smarthost router to the head of the configure file, and left the default dnslookup router. I removed the dnslookup router and things are nice and speedy now, with no need for odd queueing. Now my router is:

smart_route:
  driver = manualroute
  domains = !+local_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = * smtp.sbcglobal.net

... followed by my local delivery routers.

So, I guess the delivery was being tried twice, or some such nonsense, which is now fixed. Does that make sense?
