Common for all mail servers, since they're IO bound.

When I'm in a hurry, I usually "fix" sendmail by replacing it with postfix. 
When this is not an option and you mentioned your box is a relay, tell it not 
to write msgs to disk and not to reply OK to sending box until destination box 
accepted the message. I forgot the exact sendmail cf/mc incantation to do this, 
but I know I did it in the past.
