This is something I pointed out in a posting to the mailing list. As no
response came I supposed that this is a more "theoretical" problem of my
tests.
The reason is that the store file and the lists in memory are not suitable
for such large amounts of data.

Simply not sending some of the messages is not what users will like. I would
prefer improving the store implementation. Possibly a database (sqlbox)
could help - I dont spent time on its details, so maybe I am wrong in this
point.
