... not for a 486 it wouldn't :-)

Could this be a hardware issue? What kind of computer are you running it on,
and how much mail (e.g. msg/sec) are you processing? 

One of the advantages of Qmail-Scanner is that once the message has been
processed, Q-S should not have to process it again. i.e. messages going to
non-existant addresses (due to Klez) aren't processed more than once by Q-S
- so having 1,000s lying around in your queue isn't causing Q-S to be called
again - only Qmail.
