Viktor, Matus, many thanks!!
Viktor, I think and I'm afraid you've hit the nail on the head... that's
certainly large if not major part of my problem...
thank you for pointing it out! I hope you woke me up...!

OK, took out amavis from main.cf
#content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
BIG reduction in Load average, still problem persists
took out amavis line from master.cf submission block
submission inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o
smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
# -o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026
user still reports problems...
wait... shouldn't main.cf mynetworks = INCLUDE user's fixed IP...??
I thought it always did...?
add IP to mynetwork - I think it's working OK now..
so, it seems my issue was (partially?) not having senders's fixed IP in
mynetworks ?
(I'm still aiming to look at today's logs, eralier today, timeouts, after
editing mynetworks, seems OK)

does this look OK, that's what I had:
submission inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o
smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
-o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026
