The performance on notesfiles is SIGNIFICANTLY better than
netnews. This is probably due, in part, to the one file
approach of notes. Readnews has to open many files to run
through a newsgroup while notes only opens 2 or 3 files.

On our system the performance difference is huge (UNIX 5.0).

(P.S. notesfiles still has its problems. I keep getting
"orphaned responses" which have very nasty crt control
sequences which puts notefiles into endless loops. Also,
I haven't figured out how to automatically add new groups
to the notesfiles yet <as this message will attest>. If
someone can answer that question please send mail.
