It's interesting that you're using ReiserFS. Are you doing
that for /var/qmail/queue?
At what rate are you able to inject messages into the queue
without causing serialization of qmail-send?

Are you implying that it's qmail's job to manage what processes
get scheduled for time on which CPU instead of the OS?
