first thing, make sure you have this in your configuration file :

Code:
split_spool_directory = yes

this will make your mail queue system run faster.

then if you don't really need logs for each message that is processed by the mail server you should also add this line:
Code:

message_logs=false


you should also set deliver_queue_load_max=8 so that exim will not do queue deliveries if the load average is higher than 8 and
queue_only_load =4 so it will queue messages if the load average is higher then 4

This really improved my server's performance.
the server is faster and the load average dropped.
