    Thank you for your swift answer.

    Unfortunately setting default_process_limit to 0
results in load going to infinity, and everything breaking.

    Also the grey listing that we are using is not the
one that came with postfix, but the one at greylist.org.

Postgrey seems also to have a process limit, although it may be the process limit of the machine. I am out of my league here.

You're not supposed to set default_process_limit to 0, rather set the process limit for your postgrey entry in master.cf to zero.

Also consider using selective greylisting as others have suggested, or look at using some RBLs or maybe policyd-weight before greylisting.
