I installed "whereami" and am running exim as daemon. I modified the /etc/init.d/networking to check whether there is a link before trying to bring up an adapter to prevent having to wait for DHCP time-outs. You can do that by replacing the "ifup -a" with "mii-tool eth0 2>&1 | grep "link ok" >/dev/null && ifup eth0" Next, I have "whereami" detect where I am and, depending on whether or not I'm connected to a network, set exim to queue mails or set the smarthost and flush queued mail. Everything works like a charm and I've never seen Exim slow down anything. Must be your exim config indeed.
