mm, could be that I guess but these servers are pretty powerful with
15k rpm sas drives so they should be able to handle a bunch of stuff.
the primary is currently so slow it's failing to answer incoming smtp
connections intermittantly but there's nothing in the hold queue!
usually when I've had this trouble the hold queue is stuffed and the
server can't cope with the volume.  there's something different going
on with this now, not sure what yet though - apart from it being
REALLY slow.
