One way to check the logging factor, real quick, is to reconfigure syslog so
it doesn't sync. He's running Linux, so the this should work to at least see
if it makes a difference:
mail.*;*.!=warn -/var/log/mail
and kill -HUP <PID of syslogd>
If that helps, then certainly logging is part of the speed issue.
