This is a different problem. Try searching the archives of the
postfix-users mailing list. This kind of problem goes back at least
as far as 2002, and probably earlier. Two more recent threads I
found that might be relevant to your case are at
<http://www.security-express.com/archives/postfix/2005-07/0055.html>
and
<http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2006-05/1600.html>.
Or just Google for "postfix bad command startup", and follow the links.

I think that this is unrelated to the postfix problem above.

Search the Mailm FAQ Wizard for "performance". But pay special
attention to FAQ 1.24.
