I think we're better off spending our resources working on trying to resolve the real bottleneck issues that we already know are present in our system as opposed to working on cool stuff that may or may not help but would require more overall changes to more parts of the system and with relatively lower potential payoff.
While I agree with Brad some days more than others, he has a good point here. Presumably every mailman installation is a multiplier for email messages (I.E.: many more go out than come in), so if we're worrying about the bottlenecks at the inbound side, I'm willing to bet they result in much more important bottlenecks on the outbound side...
