Question 1 - is the delay in SMTP from Mailman to exim or is the delay
between exim and the remote MTA's?

Look in mailman's smtp log for messages like

Oct 17 09:47:08 2008 (30746)
<973585.76882.qm at web36908.mail.mud.yahoo.com> smtp to gpc-website for
23 recips, completed in 0.396 seconds

The above is a VERP'd delivery, so it represents 23 separate SMTP
transactions in 0.396 seconds. If your delivery is an order of
magnitude or more slower than this, see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/doA9>.

If the delay is between exim and the remote MTA's, this is an exim
question, not a Mailman one, but the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/qoA9> may help.
