If you ahve deep queues you need lots of queue runners. Divide the size of your queue (from exim -bpc) by the number of queue runners, and multiply that by the average time to deal with a message (usually fast but often very slow - say 10 seconds) and if the result is unreasonably long add more queue runners. Your machines are fairly studly so they can bear having dozens of queue runners.
