I've got a relatively fast mail server, and the check_mailq (as of the 1.4
beta and with my patch [see sourceforge, hasn't been worked into the 1.4
CVS yet]) works quite fast with sendmail 8.12.10/11 and large queue sizes
(10,000+).

One thing you have to keep in mind when counting queue files is that you
count valid ones.  Sometimes, queue files (and data files and x files and
T files and Q files and ...) are leftover and "stick", and unless you
clean them up, you'll include them in your count.
