Again, fixable by not sharing the disk the guest uses with the disk the host 
needs to load programs from... The disk head is always going to be in the wrong 
place.

But, odds are that the source of the problem is starting too many mail delivery 
programs, especially if they, or the user's local procmail, starts a 
spamassassin instance per message.  Look at the mail logs for a problem time to 
see if you had a flurry of messages coming in.  Sendmail/MimeDefang is fairly 
good at queuing the input and controlling the processes running at once but even 
with that you may have to throttle the concurrent sendmail processes.
