Aehm ... if you use ezmlm you get 15 messages (i.e. files) not 15x50K messages.
So the big-todo patch ist of no relevance here.
However I would recommend using the big-concurrency patch and set
concurrencyremote to 500 or more.
I have a Pentium III (551.25-MHz 686-class CPU) 256 MB RAM on a RAID 5
dedicated machine for a 95000 users newsletter list. concurrencyremote
set to 250. It delivers the 95000 messages in about 1 hour.

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen
asleep yet.
