Make sure your mailing list is clean. If you're trying to deliver to an
undeliverable address, then that might hold up a delivery thread for a
number of minutes.

Increase this number. Be careful that you don't exceed your OS process

If you're using VERP to handle bounces - and you should in order to keep
your list clean - then this is irrelevant. You'll only have one recipient
per message.

Try using -qq, which will sort messages by recipient domain, and try to
reuse connections. That might help.
