Probably doable. There are very few fancy structures in MJ 1.x, as it has to be Perl4 compatible. Very few evals and the like as well.
However, the best fix here is probably a hardware one. There's no point wasting any effort on tuning MJ 1.x, as the MJ2 alphas are now usable (the very cool digest support appeared in CVS a few days ago). MJ2's default delivery mechanism might be at odds with the current exploder setup though.
It's high time VGER had an upgrade - the last one was from SunOS to Linux like two years ago. A single mid-end PC100 machine (read CHEAP) with a couple fast drives doing nothing else should be able to easily handle all the Vger list management and a substantial portion of the delivery.
Anyway, David Miller says he has plans to deal with this, so we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe we'll get cvs.kernel.org and lists.kernel.org..
