I'm running an installation with the inverse situation, qmail works fine 
under pressure and postfix not.

I think that is only a "tuning/configuration" problem. I'm very familiar 
with qmail and not with postfix, so for me is more simple to work with 
qmail.

If you are familiar with postfix, postfix will works better for you, if 
you are familiar with qmail you will install qmail.

Ciao
