Welp..
I've been running qmail 1.03 on a Debian slink box for over a year..
DEC Multia 166Mhz
64MB RAM
3.1GB HD
egcs 1.1.2
glibc 2.1.1
Without any unaligned traps.. Unaligned traps usually mean that
the code isn't 64-bit clean and that the DEC firmware has kicked into some
special compatibility code. (Which is slow as hell).
I believe Aaron Nabil just posted some Alpha patches for qmail,
maybe you should give those a try.
Let me (and probably Aaron too) if they help you. If they do,
I'll slap them on my Alpha! :)
