In my experience, sending e-mail tends to be disk-bound pretty
much no matter what. It all has to do with synchronous meta-data
updates.
As I have said before:
For MTA performance tuning issues (especially sendmail), see my
paper <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/papers/sendmail-tuning/>,
Nick's paper <http://www.jetcafe.org/npc/doc/performance_tuning.pdf>,
and and Nick's book <http://www.jetcafe.org/npc/book/sendmail/>.
For issues with regards to tuning the performance of mailing
lists in specific as opposed to MTAs in general, see
<http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa97/21.kolstad.html>
and
<http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa98/chalup.html>.
