I think that using MDA other than sendmail is not supported very well, but it doesn't explain the huge system times. What version are you using. The fetchmail does some DNS lookups for address processing, and that was supposed to get better in the last release (2.0). Also there was a timer bug involving timeouts in the pervious version of fetchmail, which could cause spurious timeout signals during I/O. This was fixed in fetchmail-2.0.
