No. Each of mailman's queues (only 'in' and 'out' for message
processing and delivery) is processed FIFO and as quickly as
resources, and in the case of 'out', MTA responses allow.

Brad has given some good info in his reply. Also, look at Mailman's
'smtp' log and correlate the entries there with the Postfix log. Some
cases of slow delivery can result from a backlogged 'out' queue, and
this will show up in the entries in the 'smtp' log having time stamps
which are equal to the prior entry's time stamp plus the processing
time.
