Chris,

Once again, I can't help but think that you may have other things going on
in your machine.  You're right, you shouldn't have to wait "several
minutes".  I certainly don't.  I hope you answer questions about
your system so we can narrow this down.

Other questions that come to mind are: how many newsgroups are you d/l and
how many articles do you typically get during a d/l?  Are you d/l full
articles or just headers?

Give it time.  The more you use Agent, the more fragmented it too will
become and you'll find it slowing down as well.

Hey now!  :)  I want to see the proof.

I do that all the time as well.  How long does it take you?  How many
articles are you actually wading through?  It's not as fast as I'd like
to see it but it's rarely more than 3-5 seconds if I'm going from one end
of the database to the other.  I typically run about 2000 articles at any
given time on my machine.  If you have more than that, I'm willing to up
that count to something comparable to your count if you would like to
compare.  Let me know.
