I've read a couple of times about host name lookup slowing down 
bugzilla. So you could check how long it takes to send an email to the 
addresses in one of the slow bugs.

If this takes a long time then you should propably check how long it 
takes to dig the ip address for the domains you are trying to send the 
emails.

Also, the latest cvs version does not use the processmail script for 
sending the mails. So at least mass editing has become a lot faster 
after the last release.
