Very little time; it goes into the queue as one entry. The biggest
mailing list here is now over 25,000 people, and it doesn't much
ruffle the load average of this Cyrix P166+ box with 96 meg of ram and
IDE disks when a newsletter goes out.
Actually delivering them all is more work :-). But not bad, and it
doesn't take that long (few hours for all except the stubborn ones) at
a low remote concurrency of 50.
