The severity of your problem indicates that it requires more than
tuning.
What does "qmail-qstat" report? Do you constantly have a large
backlog? How many qmail-local processes are running, typically? Is
qmail-send logging anything unusual? At what rate are messages being
delivered to local users? What does vmstat and iostat output look
like? I.e., do you see signs of memory starvation or I/O bottlenecks?
