Spiffy. Although this may be a more appropriate question for the
vpopmail list, not the qmail list.

Try using the '-s' flag to vadduser. I suspect you are seeing slow
downs from rehashing the cdb file after each new user is added. The
'-s' flag tells it to not try to recreate the cdb file. Then when you
are all done, run 'vmkpasswd' and you're all set. You should see a
significant speed increase.
I created around 6000 accounts in about 15 minutes. Give or take 5
minutes...
