You are confusing cause and effect. When delivery latency is low, the concurrency is low. When latency is high, concurrency is high too. You've said nothing about where the mail is going, whether the recipients want it or whether it is spam, have provided no quantitative analysis of the "delays=..." entries in your logs. Bulk mail delivery is often slow, because receiving systems (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, ...) rate limit sending systems not in their whitelists. -- Viktor.
