I think you could use a filter to fix this. You can easily install a 
custom (shell/php/perl/whatever)script in the POST-RCPT filters and 
reject anything you don't like.

Then the above command, after checking that the files are only slog/* and rsnd/*, i.e., mails being retransmitted which I know I didn't send.  The directories are left alone.  Then restart, and it's snappy again.  I will look at increasing the number of queue threads if it keeps happening.
