Are you sure it's the LISTSERV machine that's running slow? From your description it sounds like LISTSERV has mail delivered from another mail server. It can depend on the server software or any scanning/virus-checking software on the other machine, too. We noticed a big change when the sys admins installed a real-time scanning package on our mail server. What used to be almost instantaneous can now have a 1-2 minute turnaround. Chazzozz!!
