Ah. Thanks, I thought there was something, but that slipped my mind. The more I look at this, the more it looks like a resource contention issue between mysql and qmail/vpopmail. While the load is low, there are blocked processes (according to vmstat) and context switches are through the roof. I've seen this before in other qmail installs; if I understand what "context switches" are correctly, it means that the kernel is spending an inordinate amount of time juggling processes... Any hints for large sites? Anyone here running vpopmail for more than a few thousand users? It looks like a quick band-aid is to run mysql on another server.
