You REALLY REALLY should upgrade. the same_domain_copy_routing option
will speed up the routing in the case of a multi-rcpt message.

Inject the Spam^WNewsletter with exim -bS -odqs and let the queuerunner
do the job. My personal experience is, that this really speeds up the
delivery.

If you have unpersonalized messages, feed in as many RCPT's as you can
or a single message.
Try to group same domains together while injecting.
