It's not the quickest when it comes to starting but it takes about 15 sec. on my 1.7Ghz/512MB machine. Also the through put is fast enough on my 512Kps ADSL connection.

I use X-Ray before Postcast to strip and add address, but I can't stop Postcast from adding headers. Anyway since Postcast delivers directly to the recipient I am not to worried.
