John: 
-------------------------------------------------------
* Faster

I'm guess I'll ask what exactly you want faster! :) 

* One central login for all lists.

I guess I'm not sure again what this is - the login currently available is for all the lists - do you mean login, somehow, to every list at once? 
  
Yes, I meant one single login for the admin panel and a drop down menu to select a list to work on or send.  It means not logging out of one to log in to another.  Not a big deal, but would be convenient.  I think that many of the settings could then be common to all lists, which would be a convenience.

* Irregularity and instability after starting a mass mailing:

  
 I'll tag on this.  Most of the problems I've had happen when the blast starts sending.  It seems to take a while to assemble the email and start the process, meanwhile the Monitor page is taking up precious resources.  Sometimes it will take a minute or two for the messages to start to flow.  For a while I was getting 500 server errors and only solved them by starting over with a whole new list and migrating only the addresses to it (which may point to a separate problem, but the old list was several years old and the database had a lot of what appeared to extraneous entries compared to a new list).
    

I'm sort of interested in what you're currently using for a version and a backend as well, 

  
I am not what is called an early adopter so I am still on vers 3.04.  I had a lot of the above problems with 3.0, 3.01, but not with the incremental upgrades since then.  I'm ready to go to 4.0x now and will do so in a couple of days.
