When qmail-send is started it has to fill the priority queue with all
messages in the queue. Now you have 344034 messages in the queue and it
can take a lot of time to add all the messages.
Also have a look at the log file if there is not a error in qmail-send.
For example memory shortage cause loops until the memory can be allocated.

What you can do?
Have a look at the log.
Perhaps ktrace qmail-send can show you what the process is doing.
Remove some files from the queue but only if you understand how the queue
is built.
