As of the 1.0 series the CGI actually posts the message and waits
until the MTA has accepted all the broadcast.  This, given the fact
that you are using sendmail and "it is slow", is the base of the
problem and the basic item beneath all my other questions.

I understand the behaviour is a different (more or less
asynchronous) as of the 2.0 series, but I haven't checked.

There's a missing NOT there.  It should read:

  Is your MTA running as a daemon or thru inetd?  (should NOT be
  running thru inetd for minimal startup time)
