No, no, no!

This is an actively antisocial approach.  Remote MTAs and MUAs also
will do filtering based on Precedence headers.  This is like saying
"If you rewire everybody else's speedometer, your commute to work will
go faster."

If you want to speed up queue processing, just about every MTA in
the world (certainly including sendmail and qmail) will allow you 
to locally tune the queue parameters locally.
