Even if it was 800 messages, that would still be almost a minute
per message.  That's so absurd that there must be some other
factor involved.  If it's really 80, we're looking at 10 minutes
per message and that's only possible if there's some serious
problem in the installation (or some other system activity that
is taking almost all the available resources).
