What could pause Exim server to slow down considerably when sending
mail?

I just fixed problem with hosts file, and it worked well but few hours 
later it has
started to slow despite no big traffic.

Thanks. Solved all my problems at once. So far as I've installed exim, it 
never has
been set to use inetd, so I didn't guess to look for that.

Just to check, do you mean:
/etc/init.d/exim start

This may not echo anything if exim is started from inetd.  In this case, 
the script exits silently.  See about 4 lines down in /etc/init.d/exim . 
  Also
grep smtp /etc/inetd.conf
to see if smtpd is commented out
