Can't hurt but the problem is that Mercury/32 MercuryC must be handling the mail exclusively and when using MercuryC the NLM version is more efficient. There is no way that a single instance MercuryC of Mercury/32 is going to be more efficient than 5 instances of MercuryC.NLM handling the queue in a round robin fachion. This is especially true if you are using multiple relay hosts but even if using a single relay host you will be using 5 paths instead of just one.
