yes, using Mercury as an SMTP server is very slow. In the kernel menu of 
the Monitor console I can see, that Mercn__P and MercuryP are often the
busiest 
threads and for the same time the utilization of the server is very
high.
Changing the switch parameter seems not to change anything.
I am using the NDS version with ldap_synonyms set to 1. Can that be the
reason?
