Seemed to have minimal effect. The basic problem is the fact that the 'lsv' process is basically single-threaded (although the smtp_forward offloads the backend work). If the previous request is a bulk add of a lot of names to a list, and you're not running the HPO version, you will be waiting a while.... In fact, that's a good thing to check - find *your* request in the Listserv console log (those timestamps are there for a reason ;) and then check what the *previous* thing was and how long it took...
