Postfix works as expected.  Postfix receives *NOTHING* for 5 minutes,
and then Postfix times out.

Here Postfix times out after 10 seconds. Postfix reduces time
limits when all server are busy. 

Look in your MAILLOG file for warnings like this:

service XXX(XXX) has reached its process limit XXX: new clients may experience 
noticeable delays
to avoid this condition, increase the process count in master.cf or reduce the 
service time per client
see http://www.postfix.org/STRESS_README.html for examples of stress-adapting 
configuration settings
