I don't know about catastrophic, but it certainly should be faster.  I
personally find the speed of this list unacceptable.  For large lists
with high volume, a list server written in a scripting language like
python isn't going to cut it, IMHO.  I vote for qmail w/ ezmlm(-idx).
(That is, if we get a vote in the matter.)
