Er, do you call everyone who tries to help you, lame?
As it happens Dave rarely asks lame questions - in fact if you think
the Dave's questions lame, it usually means you don't understand the
full implications of the question.

Right. Well, this calls for proper investigation of your system
performance - not guesswork. It could be that something else is
consume a lot of resources, we don't know unless we see something like
vmstat/iostat output. qmail-send may be having problems forking, we
don't know unless you show us *all* of the log messages.

If you don't know why your mail is going slow, it sounds to me like
speculation rather than the results of a definitive analysis.
How did you conclude that there are "too many fsyncs" and why don't
you share that information with us if you want help?
