You may have reverse DNS problems for that IP address, or lamedelegation problems for the domain, or any number of other DNS-related issues. There are lots of ways to cause things to slow down if your DNS is messed up.
Which would affect ALL mail going out from my server, not just one list, right? DNS issues was my first thought when this initially cropped up but mail from other lists I host and all private mail continues to fly right on thru at about triple the speed of this one list's outgoing mail.
And I do have proper rDNS set up, that was something I got done as soon as the server was set up almost two years ago and nothing has changed there.

I'd check it though, because it's possible that someone else broke it for you. Reverse DNS lookups to my server were failing last week because someone else had an error and so the lookup was ambiguous.
If you go to <www.dnsstuff.com> or a similar site, you can see what the world sees.
If you're having reverse DNS problems, you should also have a lot of refused deliveries for those lists, and it doesn't sound like you do.
