I assume this is many one-recipient messages, given sequentially to Exim?

I suspect that without cutthrough you end up queueing and then
delivering in parallel, whereas with cutthrough the sequential
presentation to Exim is maintained all the way through to (many of)
the deliveries, resulting in higher wallclock time.

If your dump of messages could be given to Exim in parallel you'd see
different - but arranging this probably isn't worthwhile. If they
all come down one smtp connection you could, perhaps, only
decide to use cutthrough on the first?

Cutthrough does not necessarily give a speedup.
