Well, svscan doesn't affect the performance of qmail - it affects the
manageability and reliability of starting qmail.

This is actually a general Unix admin question, but be that as it
may...
You could have made make life a lot easier by showing us the inittab
entry. Did you double-check that your inittab entry is correct? Did
you read the inittab man page to understand what it's trying to do?
How does that gel with the inittab entry you created?
My guess is that you've got the path wrong to svscan or that the path
points to something that isn't executable or that you've asked svscan
to scan a directory that doesn't exist.
