On my mail system there is a global SMTP session budget. It accepts

I realize that in some circles full speed mail delivery is considered
anti-social
The server I use has a global maximum receive sessions, a separate
maximum from the same host, and a reserve that is maintained for the
use of white-listed hosts.
This has nothing to do with any concept of what's polite versus
anti-social, but rather to ensure that a spammer can't monopolize all
inbound connections.
