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.)

I read this list, but usually just skim it and sometimes it can take a long
while to respond.
