I thought v2 chunked the queue processing... Hurm, if it doesn't it should and that's an easy enough fix.

From what I read we're in SMTPDirect.py :

    def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):

this function does process all recipients (in chunks if not VERP) consecutively, before exiting. We spent 5 hours in its main loop for that one message.

The painful bit is in Runner.py which appears to linearly process each message queue. The next optimisation would have queue runners forking off every N minutes, with each one opportunistically handling messages in the queue.
