I believe I've found out how to reliably reproduce the performance problemsI've noticed here at VA and at Kanga.Nu, and which Barry and another (forget name, sorry) have observed as well:
Create a moderated list.
Subscribe 200 addresses to the list (can be bogus addresses but
the local MTA must accept them)
- Post at least 30 messages of an average of at least 2K size to
the list.
- Go to the moderation page, approve every message, and hit
submit.
- Watch your system load peg and stay there for an obscenely long
time.
