OK, after more poking and prodding, it looks like the problem is related
to the private/<list>/database directory.
The "article" file here for the list that was causing the problems was 44M, the author was 51K, date was 41K, subject was 55K, and thread was 42k.
I moved all those files aside and ran qrunner, and it didn't pause there
at all, although it has paused for lesser amounts of time in other (also
larger) lists.
I guess that the size of this list is simply overwhelming the pipermail archiver. Is there anything I can do about this short of disabling archives? Can I update the archives less often, or do it with a separate process somehow so that at least my mail keeps flowing even while the archive is being updated?
From the dim and distant past I recollect that reducing the archive period from say a month to a week for lists that were challenged in this way could help.
Also, the following link is to a patch that was incorporated into MM 2.1.4 and which addressed an archiving problem which first glance suggests you may be experiencing. I suspect it is applicable with modification to the MM 2.0.11 code base but it would probably be much easier to do the upgrade to 2.1.5:
