The essential benefit of running a queue runner in this way is that you can
run many. What tends to happen on IMail is that the active queue runners
reduce down to just 1 which then goes through all the messages. It does not
automatically setup 30 processes to clear the queue once it has stopped
receiving new mail (this is good thing in many ways because it means there
are always spare processes for new messages).
30 processes (or whatever you set it to) is a maximum which only happens to
incoming connections it does not refer to how many queue runners Imail will
use. Because IMail renames messages that are being processed it seems to be
totally safe to be running multiple queue runners in this way as each just
looks for messages which are not being processed. I have done this with
1000's of messages during testing with no ill effects and a vast reduction
in the time to clear the queue.
You could even create a batch file which automatically runs 10 (for example)
queue runners at these problem times.
Hope this helps clarify.

This command line will run through everything in
the spool once.
