The good news is that the mm folks know about this and redesigned the queueing system to avoid this holdup. All that said, pipermail will still not be an archiver of choice, you are encouraged to use something else.
Is anything recommended? Ideally something that will turn the mbox files into nice HTML every night without keeping the list locked.
That's what I thought of too, but there isn't any direct way to do this in mailman. That said, nothing prevents you from running the archiver code by hand against the mailbox (something like grepmail todaysdate mbox | formail -s scriptthatrunsarchiver)
Pipermail however does remain slow and inefficient (it can use huge amounts of CPU and RAM), and this is known, no one is actively maintaining the code and people who have real archiver needs are typically encouraged to use monharc.
