I think I solved the root of the problem, which was that I had simply
added the smarthost router to the head of the configure file, and left
the default dnslookup router. I removed the dnslookup router and
things are nice and speedy now, with no need for odd queueing. Now my
router is:

smart_route:
driver = manualroute
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.sbcglobal.net

... followed by my local delivery routers.

So, I guess the delivery was being tried twice, or some such nonsense,
which is now fixed. Does that make sense?
