If you have network tests enabled, the 5000 emails will put more pressure on your DNS than the 1000 will, just because of the RBL lookups in the headers. The same could also be said of all the header tests, but these are generally lightweight, so they make little difference. The larger messages will put a bit more pressure on the bayes subsystem (if enabled) and body tests. If your disk is slow and you've got bayes enabled, this could be worse than the extra DNS lookups, but it's unlikely. However, on most systems I would expect the 5000 1kbyte emails would be slower to process than 1000 5kbyte emails. YMMV, and you could test this pretty easily using time on the mass-check tool.
