Probably, yes! So maybe you want to pump them all in and then use -qq.
That will just sit around routing them one by one for a long time,
before it then re-scans the queue and actually delivers them.
I can't offhand think of a way of persuading it to run multiple
queue-runners that just do the routing and not the delivery. You want
something like "hold_hosts = *", but that doesn't exist.
(That is, there's no way to make it just do the first pass of "qq"
without going on to do the second. Maybe this doesn't matter...)
