MDOMO processes commands on my machine in about 10-15 seconds.  I have a 
Pentium 150 with 34Mb RAM.  I used to run it on a 486 with 16 Mb RAM.  
Both machines were running Linux.  

You still have a permission problem!  Make sure that not only are the 
files permissions set correctly but that the directory permissions are 
set so that majordomo can write to that directly.  To test it, you can 
just set everything to 777 and test it.  Then work backwards changing the 
files permissions back to 664 for files and 775 for directories.  Set the 
owner.group to majordom.majordom

Hope this helps.
