Qmail vs.Postfix

[Stingreen]

We've been using sendmail for 3 years. We're going to switch over another MTA which I'm guessing would be qmail or postfix. However, I'm a bit confused what to go for.
The key term we've been looking for is, performance.
I'm not even interested in security, or anything else.
Which one of them can send emails faster to remote destinations on a OC-3 connection with RAID5 Pentium 3 800, and 512MB of RAM ?

Thanks a lot..

Depends on who you talk to.

This site found postfix faster:

This found qmail faster:

The link that you gave which thinks qmail is the fastest, made the tests on "local deliveries". Then there must be a difference between local and remote deliveries. Because qmail can send 3.4 million emails "locally"
