First order optimisation is domain suffix routing (all .edu there, all
.org there, all aol.com over there, etc).  That can take you a long way.
Second order optimisation is monitoring of fast and slow MXes and
dynamically/periodically reconfiguring the mail routing so that mail is
relayed to a server configured for the responsiveness of that MX.  After
that you get into things like Chuq's army of nerfs.
