It can be. Queue disk bandwidth is one of the first things that a largish
qmail system typically runs out of. There are various things that can help
with this; moving the queue to a separate disk (or even separate controller)
can help.
What logging setup are you using? What else is on the disk which contains
the queue? What partition are you logging to?
