He said multiple spindles, not multiple queues.
Multiple spindles simply means that the queue (/var/qmail/queue/*)
is physically located on a disk that isn't used for other things (like final
mail delivery). If both the queue and the final delivery destination (like
/var/spool/mail) are on the same physical disk, that means the disk head is
constantly sprinting back and forth between queue and spool, and it hurts
performance.
