I have found that it means that the disk(s) /var/spool/exim4/db resides
on don't have the I/O capacity to meet Exim's needs... ie using IDE
drives when you should be using SCSI.

In my situation the messages went away when I put the hints databases on
a tmpfs ramdisk - for me it wasn't critical that they be saved between
reboots, and faster disks weren't an option.
