You can't just "stop" the content filter, existing messages have the
content_filter transport recorded in the queue file, as evidenced by
your logs. To drop this record from existing messages you need to
run "postsuper -r ALL", which will move all mail from active, incoming
deferred (and I think also "hold") to "maildrop". From there, mail
will be re-processes as new mail in the queue with the new setting
of "content_filter" (as seen by pickup from main.cf or master.cf
overrides).
Restarting Postfix generally makes queue congestion worse.

Yes.

No, they do not.
Do you have ANY logging of email going somewhere other than the content
filter?
So far all the evidence is that your content_filter is slow and/or busted,
there is nothing showing what happens post-filter. What happened to that
post-filter queue-id???
