I tried set sendmail configuration to deliverymode=queue. and use "sendmail -db" and "sendmail -q1s". I got the same through put. I using sendmail 8.11.6, will that effect the through put the email delivery of cyrus imap?
I did went through the configuration of sendmail about cyrus. But I still get: cyrus 3645 3644 0 13:17 ? 00:00:00 deliver -e -m -- loadtest510 Is that the process that you was talking about, which is not good for performance? If yes, what should I change?

You want Sendmail 8.12.4 or later. You should consider running Sendmail in deliverymode=queue with frequent queue runs if you want the best possible performance. (Take a look sendmail/TUNING in the Sendmail distribution.) You should also configure Sendmail as described in the Cyrus documentation, using LMTP delivery to Cyrus. You don't want "deliver" processes---it's a completely unnecessary fork. There's an Addison Wesley book on "sendmail performance tuning" soon to come out that might help you with this. I'm going to be receiving a review copy and I'll report on it. Larry
