probably. i'm using it like:

exim -bpru | exiqsumm | sed '1,4d;$d;s/^.*\ \(.[^\ ]*$\)/\1/' | \
xargs -P 10 -n 1 exim -v -qqR

(hi micmac :)

and it cleans the queue blazing fast. if you combine this with an
alternative conffile where you set things like *_timeout aggressively,
it can be even faster.

i'm not saying it doesn't put a certain kind of load on the system,
but it goes away fast anyway.
