Sorry for the duplicate Wade... Small chunks are always better for mass mails, but with only 1300, it's not too bad. Normally you have to weigh the time you have for your script to run vs. the total number of emails. When you're dealing with millions of records, you don't have the luxury of batching them too small if you want to finish running the script in a reasonable amount of time (at times the content may be time sensitive, etc).
