The stuff comes in continously all day and all night long.  It rarely
stops for over a minute or two.  IMHO the best way to run this thing is
from the likes of a Linux type freeware box with minimal hardware doing
SAT + NEWS and only that.  C-News by itself on a full feed is pretty
intense.  I think people lose concept at times at how much stuff is in a
FULL newsfeed plunking 60+ MB a day at you.  You can fill up a Gig disk
in a very short time span if you don't expire regularly.
