RTFRFC (1459 was the original; I'm looking at an old index, so there maye
be a later update to this).

If you mean slow in the sense of sending articles at a low speed, then
there is something wrong with your setup; I'm still getting about 5kB/s
on the majority of downloads.  If, OTOH, you mean lagged, in that
articles are not appearing until long after when they were posted, then
that problem seems to have gone: I've seen articles of mine, posted
through mail2news, only 30 minutes after they were uploaded.  Cc'ed
anyway.
