A couple questions about james: performance and virtual domains

Hi!
 
First off I wanted to say thanks!  James is a really easy-to-configure
and a straightforward server.  Much better than qmail.  As a matter of
fact, this message is being sent through James :-)
 
However, I am having some difficulties:
 
1)       Performance of James seems to be a bit slow compared to qmail.
With qmail, if I wanted to send myself an email message, I would usually
get it right back on my MUA within the same send/receive.  With James it
usually takes about 10 seconds (and it's running on a test serer, not
development one so there's no load)
2)       I'm hosting 3 different domains.  I understand that virtual
hosting isn't yet implemented, so does this mean that if I create an
account "sales", all sales@domain1 sales@domain2 sales@domain3 messages
will go into the same account?  I read the following:
http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#7   - does that actually work?  There
seems to be no good explanation on installing it, can somebody help me
with that?
 
Thanks a lot, I hope I can contribute to James somehow in a future (I'm
a java dev)
