I will try that later, I'd forgot about queue_only_load...would it still be a
good idea to do rate limiting as well?

I don't think split_spool_directory will help with my filesystem (JFS). The
machine has only one disk and cannot have more even if money were no object,
and a ram disk is completely out of the question. I will try no_message_logs
but I really do like having them turned on, at least on the msa but turning
them off on b.www might be okay if it yields significant performance gain...
qmail handled the same volume with no load at all... :/
