Good news (kinda) - another list on that server just started to slow down, and this time, it is a very unimportant and small list (472 members, 466 of them have mail delivery enabled), so I can take all the time in the world to try and debug this issue.
I agree with Mark that this sounds like a problem with the Python interpreter. I just don't see what could be causing Mailman to slow down. I think if you want to continue to debug this, it will involve hacking SMTPDirect.py or replacing it with a simpler but instrumented handler for the list in question. Do you want to go down that route? (Installing say Python 2.6.5 and rebuilding Mailman might be an easier first step.)
Do you think I can drop Barry a PM off-list and ask him for further advice if he doesn't read this? I'm really interested in debugging this, and as I said, this time I really don't care about the list delivery being slow.
I read this list, but usually just skim it and sometimes it can take a long while to respond.
