"By looking at the entries in /var/log/syslog, I'd estimate that it manages to send about 2800 messages an hour. How bad is that? (Given that there are 1700 or so subscribers to xml-dev alone, I'm pretty sure it ain't good enough :-)

Here's a data point: my list server has sent out up to 10,000 messages in one hour. Software: LetterRip Pro. Hardware: Mac SE/30 20/240. Yes, really.

List serving is one of the least CPU-intensive things a computer can do. If your list server hardware cost you more than $100, you spent too much.
