I just ran a test of uurec on sri-unix using the following single
message as input.  It took 1 user second, 15.7 system seconds, and 1
minute 28 seconds of real time to complete.

Does anyone know why on earth uurec is so slow? We get 150 to 200
of these messages a day and they are crushing our system load-wise,
raising the load to 10 and 11 on a 2.8BSD v7 11/70 for the entire
period when the news is being processed (several hours).

I would go snooping through all the code but figure someone out there
must have an idea. Is uurec this slow on your system? We transmit news
to hplabs and fortune.
