I agree.  I have an 040 with 32 meg, and a full usenet feed INCLUDING alt, and
I barely see the load.  And at 16 meg there was little difference, unless you
were also running something like a big compile at the same time, then it
dragged a bit, but nothing like what he reported.

BUT, the first time I installed it, in either NNTP or C-NEWS, I forgot which, I
said 'no' to batch mode in the config stuff, then it processed each message
individually, and was unable to keep up with the feed, given full time to
process it.  So, that would be my suggestion.
