I run FreeBSD 4.7-PRE with Mailman-2.0.14. The box is a 500MHz with 256MB and
runs a whole lot other services but sincerely speaking I haven't seen a problem
with Mailman. maybe this is because 

1. My lists are not big/busy enough
2. I haven't caught the archiver process in action.


On another box with 2.1b3 (FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE, Python-2.2.1, 1.4GHz, 256MB RAM)
I also haven't had this problem.

How large are your lists and how busy?



        cheers
