I routinely run mailq on solaris varios versions.

mailq used to execute in seconds and no wtakes forvere even for a very low
number of mail messages.

Do not know how to debug the delay

Any pointers

what does truss tell you when you run it with mailq?

man truss

truss <options of your choice> mailq

Well, the answer depends on the version of Sendmail, which you don't 
specify (or even the version of Solaris), however if you've got 8.10 or 
later try "sendmail -bp -O QueueSortOrder=filename" (for 8.12 use 
"random" instead of "filename").

If the delay is the same then it's likely the problem is external to 
sendmail.
