I'm in the process of sending out 80,000 messages using IMS SE.  I seem to be 
getting about 4500 messages delivered per hour.

Does this seem reasonable?

iMS is a lot more capable than that so I would be looking about a bit more.

any way I could speed this up?  We're a university shop with tons of bandwidth 
so bandwidth isn't an issue.

My CPU usage is going up and down ranging from 0% to 57% but most of the spikes 
are well under 50% and the average over the course of 5 minutes is probably 
only around 5-10%

That looks like what we see. FYI we have the SE or lite versions on almost every hosting server and most of our clients send out smallish newsletters of 1-2,000 addresses, the lot go in a minute or so...

We find a major holdup is the DNS side of things, as we host hundreds of domains and our email flow is from everywhere to everywhere :-) We have added a dedicated DNS server to mind internal lookups and that has helped.
