So, if you remove the "LIMIT" restriction, it then just runs longer, with no other adverse effects? That aside, I assume you want to run the cleanup application at night because the load is generally a lot lower. Just to get an idea what you're up against, how many messages are we talking about per day and what is the configuration of your server in terms of CPU(s), memory and disks that results in its working so hard to keep up?
