I just don't see the point of this. You may have stopped a large list inject being so aggressive on CPU usage, but you have increased the lifetime of processes by a factor of 30 or so (on your figures), and so increased the memory pressure and likelihood of swapping etc due to processes being just as fat but lasting longer. Your users may notice the big lists getting much slower - and having deliveries smeared over a much longer period. You may find you have made things less efficient by having 2 deliveries to a single list slowed down so that different messages to the same recipient can no longer be put in the same SMTP session (if your MTA does that). For that matter can multiple deliveries be made against the same list at the same time? Why not just run the cron jobs under nice instead?
