How many recipients in those 10-15 messages? What is the queue manager doing (strace, truss, ktrace, ...)? I've seen cases (potential C-library or kernel issue) in which trivial-rewrite does not see a new request from the queue-manager until the queue-manager exits and only then does trivial-rewrite notice the queue-manager's lookup request. Report any warnings, or fatal messages logged by trivial-rewrite or qmgr. -- Viktor.
