Okay, item one should be reduced by setting a delivery_rule of:

ALL
sort, minseperate=10, maxaddrs=20
hosts=(news.hub.org=(esmtp,pipelining,onex,timeout=300))
backup=(hub.org=(esmtp,pipelining,onex,timeout=300))

to make for smaller packets, no?  

as for item two ... loadavg shouldn't be much of a concern right now, as
our "load intensive app" is currently offline until we throw a second CPU
into this thing ...
