As I have a very big server (4 CPUs, 6Gbytes of RAM), I suppose that only a MySQL-backed Mailman would answer this problem. How far is it from being usable?
For a large-scale mail system, number and speed of CPUs is meaningless. Amount of RAM doesn't really mean a whole lot. What you need is disk I/O capacity.
Have you put your entire spool filesystem on solid-state disk, or at least very high capacity multi-spindle RAID 1+0 arrays with high speed battery-backed controllers with large quantities of write-back cache?
See also <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.003.htp>, as one of many items in the Mailman FAQ that discuss "performance". Of course, you should also see the others, too.
