Simply run multiple queue runners from the command line:
exim -q &
By default, Exim only spins off a single queue runner per queue run
period, so an alternative is to reconfigure your system to run the queue
(say) every minute. That way you'll probably end up with a ridiculous
number of queue runners at the same time, but they'll process the queue
fairly efficiently.
Also, if you haven't already, run Exim with a split queue. It makes
directory parsing much quicker. See the docs for the option on how to do
that.
