Like the master himself says, "Profile - don't speculate." In this case,
look at the way qmail and ezmlm work.
By "parallel SMTP processes" I'm assuming you're referring to the way qmail
handles deliveries, which is to spawn one qmail-remote process for each
recipient address. That all happens after the mail is injected by ezmlm
into the qmail queue.

I understand that qmail is the MTA, but there is also functionality
in ezmlm which takes advantage of qmail in a way which makes things
much faster. Something about parallel smtp processes or something
like that. There's more to it then just qmail itself.
