I am wondering is it better to setup smtp for oxwall? does it help improve anything or is it a pointless feature for most of us?

mail() function of PHP is slow as it opens sockets every time for every email.
For massmailing as in Oxwall, smtp or sendmail (php function is suggested).
But when compared to sendmail, smtp is faster.

I would prefer to use a different server for it like google smtp just to eliminate as much load as possible

Its possible. Once I used free Amazon SMTP for my customer. It provides lot of features.
