What they said, it only generates swapping if you try to get rid of that (IMO dummy message). Processing SA will always take longer than basic delivery, and no matter how you tune you will always see that message. Just accept the fact that mail gets into a queue when using processes like SA. If outgoing spam is not a concern, set your system so that outbound mail is not passed thru SA.
