Massive queue buildup

That's not good.

Disabled DCC, Razor, and Pyzor, and I'm still seeing batch times in the
same general range.  I've got RAM to burn, so I kicked up the number of
children to 30, and I'm still seeing the same batch times, but the queue
is decrementing.  Finally, I built up a box that's blazingly fast in
processors, and woefully short of RAM, and put that ahead of this one in
the mailserver precedence list.  We'll see how it handles tomorrow.

Thanks for the assist, folks-- I appreciate it.

What did log speed = yes show?
Did disabling dcc improve things?

Razor was not a problem here nor all the SA rules from the fsl guys, i
disabled all one, one by one put them back in, did not take long to see
dcc was the culprit, since  ive disabled it, it's all good.
