Are you tidying the databases?
here's some crontab entries:
# clean up the retry database at the quietest time of day
25 5 * * * /opt/exim/bin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject
30 5 * * * /opt/exim/bin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry
35 5 * * * /opt/exim/bin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp

I recommend you look at the stats/graphs produced by the exim stats and do all
this when the machine is handling the least amount of mail! We find 5.30 is
pretty quiet.
