You should really start RTFM you know. A lot of the question you ask
have answers there.

What was the load due to? CPU? Disk IO? Memory swaping? ... Just telling
us `my machine is slow' does not help.

No.

Yes. RTFM for your shell. Remember that the deamon just spawns some
processes and that those maybe the ones that take resources.

What does exiwhat tells you?
What is the state of the queue? Any message of usual large size?
Try delivering a few of those manually (with some debugging) and see if
something odd happens. Run a quewu runner with debugging once your
system is loaded.
