The odds are pretty high that it is your sendmail configuration.
Internally all php does is pass the information directly to
sendmail. Unless you're bcc'ing 100000 people it won't take that
long for php.

sendmail can be a nightmare to configure, if you are concerned
about speed, I might suggest finding a different mta like qmail or
postfix. They are more secure and faster than the traditional
sendmail.
