I have a lowly P2-233 and (as I recall) a message sent to a majordomo list with over 4,000 members goes out in about 4 hours. It has been my experience that one of these messages is handled by a single sendmail queue run. Starting another queue run will allow send mail to process other outgoing messages, but the large message will be 'locked' and therefore not processed by the second queue run. This info based on fact that majordomo only puts out a single message to sendmail for each received. If Mailman splits incoming messages into multiple outgping messages for sendmail to handle, then multiple queue runs should help the situation.
