Ok, the average of 1.4 was taken at the start of this discussion,
with great activity. The load average is now down to 0.7 and
dropping.
My point was: qmail should interpret 25% of this load as the
capability of these computers are 4x what a normal computer
can handle with the same configuration in 1x.
I want mail delivery to go much faster, the computer can do
much better than this!!! I want the qmail-send program to deliver
4x as many mails.
