I remember having a problem with Tango getting bogged down, not with a mail action, but with a series of updates on a very large result set. I solved the problem by performing the function in blocks, using logic similar to the next x search logic that the builder will create.
After experimenting, I found the number of records that would process without Tango having fits, and put that into a loop with a _start function argument. My guess is that you could use the same thing but run it from a cron job. Start the first pass at a predetermined time, allow a few minutes, start the second pass, etc. until you've completed the array.
