Do not use these limits to regulate legitimate traffic: mail will suffer grotesque delays if you do so. Currently I am testing Amavisd-new as a pre-queue smtp-proxy, so I only have six smtpd processes available (512 mb RAM and a server dating back to the previous century). I still saw no delay in mail. That is, why I was a bit puzzled why you received the mails not in one batch but over a longer period. What did you set these limits to? -- Sandy List replies only please!
