Actually, that can't be.  I ran some tests where I did everything but
instead of calling mail() I printed the mail() call.  It ran nearly 800
messages through in about two and a half seconds :-)

% As for the personalization, you should ask if you really need it. What 
% do you need it for?

No luck there; I already fought as hard as I could.  It's a feature that
our clients tout to the people for whom they do marketing, so they have
to be able to provide it, so we have to write it.

% 120 without patches.

Hmmm...  That's worth a look; where do I set that?
