[Mailman-Users] hi resource usage

[Roelf Schreurs]

Hi

We have 23 lists. The highest is about 200-250 mails a day, then 3 of 
50-75 a day and the rest very slow mail groups.

I also ran the previous version of mailman (2.0.9) and did not have any 
problems. Only after I upgraded to the new mailman. When mailman started 
running as a daemon, it took the server straight to hell.
