Neither. The algorithm is to receive mail for a bunch of archives.
When mhonarc is invoked, it batches as many messages (for a
given archive) as are available. A single loop invokes mhonarc
again and again. This approach scales very gracefully because
a big message backlog leads to more batch processing.

Wednesday I invoked mhonarc 12352 times, of which 7932 runs
were for singleton messages. Average latency from message reception
to archival hovered around two hours.  I'm interested in reducing
this latency, and even a small speed increase for mhonarc would help.
