That shouldn't be it -- you should see similar loads on 6.06 and 7.1.

Have you checked the spool files to see if there is any pattern to what is 
in there, to make sure the problem isn't a mail loop, for example?

What was it before?  If it was DELETE before, there would be slightly more 
system load having it at HOLD, but it shouldn't be enough to cause mail 
delivery to slow down.
