if you can make sure your box won't crash (power failure, system
crash, etc.), you can remove all fsync() calls from the exim source.
this is a *tremedous* speed increase. (as for the others, don't
don't DON'T EVER try this at home!)

also, you can use split_spool_directory, and put (some of the) splits
on different disks; and/or at least put the log/queue/message log
portions of the spool on different disks.

it could even be useful. but it's not hard to saturate a fastethernet
link with one single exim either :)
