What's that for a benchmark?
"A Ferrari isn't faster then a VW Polo. I tested them in New York, rush
hour, they were equally fast". Huh?
I must admit I didn't benchmark, but on my systems (with dedicated fast SCSI
disks for the queue) qmail-ldap's in-cluster-deliveries are noticeable
faster if not ways faster than SMTP deliveries.
