You are welcome to continue to use Sendmail.

Postfix scheduling outperforms Sendmail scheduling in all but the most
exotic configurations. Postfix has no QueueLA/RefuseLA, which are
severely broken. Postfix continues getting work done without stop/start
congestion amplification and without saturating the machine.

Your tests don't mean much if you are testing isolated edge cases. If
the bulk of your load is to a set of domains served by a single pool
of MX hosts, you can add transport table entries:

        example.com     smtp:example.com
        example.net     smtp:example.com
        example.org     smtp:example.com

and then mail for all three domains is delivered in one envelope.
