I'd imagine that routing half a million single-recipient messages
"one by one" take a long time indeed! Will multiple -qq processes
interoperate correctly if I launch a few myself? I'm guessing no. :-(

Nope. Even if I could tell it to stop after routing, having a single
process performing all routing is just too slow. I need parallelism
in routing. Right now, I achieve this by sacrificing more efficient,
hint-based delivery.
