karlp@ourldsfamily.com wanted us to know:

No, the current implementation sends a single message to an email alias
that your mail server expands out to the list of email addresses (or
bulk mailer breaks up for you).  In both cases, majordomo has no notion
of who the final list of email recipients are.  It is just sending it to
one email address that is defined on your mail server.

Yes it would slow the process down a little, but not too much (unless
you've got 50K user lists).
