As I said, I think it would just be the config.pck. Everything else is open source software, but I don't think I want it. It's not that I'm not curious because I definitely am, but I don't want to accidentally send mail to any of the list members.
Another test would be to break up the large list into a number of smaller sub-lists with an umbrella list. That would allow Mailman to have a lot more internal parallelism, and not get into lock synchronization issues over config.pck. You could also run multiple sets of qrunners, if you split things correctly according to the "powers of 2" rule.
What is a "smaller sub-list"? The list in question does only hold 11k recipients, which is not exactly large. Some off my SVN announce lists are much larger.
