Paul just covered that with this paragraph: Also, using an MTA like postfix only lets you shift the actual delivery of messages out of the web request. Using a queue/worker lets you defer the querying of the data, the processing of the results, and the rendering of email as well.
I see what you mean, though. I'm partial to using postfix to handle queuing and sending, but using a thread in the background with girl_friday[1] to render and queue without slowing down the user response.
