What does 'top' show about the processes using the CPU? If the
process(es) is/are python processes, do 'ps -fw' on their PIDs to see
exactly which runners they are.

Is your 'out' queue backlogged? The symptoms are a lot of files in
qfiles/out (if this is the CentOS/RedHat package that's probably
/var/spool/mailman/out).

Also, Mailman's 'smtp' log which contains entries like

May 08 08:39:11 2014 (5288) <message_id> smtp to listname for nnn
recips, completed in tt.ttt seconds

If the queue is backlogged, each timestamp will be tt.ttt seconds
following the preceding entry.

If the queue is backlogged, see some results of
<https://www.google.com/#q=site:mail.python.org+inurl:mailman+out+queue+backlogged>
