Mail vs. response time

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about A/UX mail file permissions.
Special thanks to Donald L. Nash who had the definitive analysis and patch.
Now another mail-related question: On our system, we often send mail to
25 people at a time. Whenever we do this, it brings the system to its knees.
Terminal response time becomes intolerable, it can take 45 seconds to do
a trivial command.
Is there an easy way to lower the priority of mailx (or send-mail?).
I don't mind delaying the mail by a few minutes if it restores good
terminal response time.
Any ideas?
