The goal is to chose a value small enough to attempt to minimise
contention with MTA spool files. There's a balance between disk IO
and space overhead, and MTA performance. Its a multi-variable
equation. The optimal value is going to depend on your system,
choice of MTA, your list membership distribution, behaviour of other
MXes, and system resources.
I use 5 on some systems, 10 on others. I pick purely based on the
physical resources of the systems themselves (smaller on systems
with bigger spools).
