Slow Mail Delivery

[Ross Davis]

I recently was running low on disk space on the my var partition.  To solve the problem, I moved all of the contents over to another partition on the same drive that had more space on it (usr).  After moving everything over I made it so that var wouldn't mount on its on partition and then started up in single user mode and built a link to the subdirectory on the usr partition.  /var --> /usr/rootvar.   Why would this be slowing things down?   I takes from 5 to 10 minutes to deliver a local email.  It never used to.
