Provided you supply qmail-queue with all the recipients at once, yes, you
would see a (possibly large) improvement.
If you use qmail-queue this way, you are sending one message to 50000
recipients. If you call qmail-queue (or qmail-inject) separately for each
recipient, you're queuing 50000 messages, each for one recipient. There's
a big difference.
