It seems deliver is taking up a lot of cpu. Is there a way to throttle just the delivery command?

It probably shouldn't be. See what it's doing with e.g. strace? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing
Also show your dovecot -n output.

Run "nice deliver" instead?
What if I turn off dovecot just while the newsletter is going out? it uses postfix to send so it shouldn't hurt anything, right?

Shutting down Dovecot doesn't shut down deliver, since it's called by Postfix.

I'm wondering why "sending a newsletter" in previous mail, should have anything to do with postfix+deliver. Are you sending an internal newsletter? Normally, a newsletter goes outwards and should not call deliver at all, but smtp(8) over tcp.

Omg! I found the following in the config!!! I commented it out and it's working great! Thank you so much! plugin {
10MB quota limit
quota = dirsize:user quota_rule = *:storage=10M }

However, if you use its SASL, that's not entirely true if you're relying on normal message injection methods (smtpd), postfix will bail.
/etc/rc.d/rc.dovecot stop Stopping dovecot POP3/IMAP daemon... Done. Stopping IMAP Proxy... Done.
telnet 10.10.0.10 25 Trying 10.10.0.10... Connected to mx3. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.
postfix/smtpd[386]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
But this I feel is (if it can be really called an error at all) postfix's failure, not Dovecots.
