Bzzzt!

INN keeps the entire history.pag file in memory.  Compare
the difference:

-rw-r--r--  1 news      8959217 Dec 21 10:00 /usr/lib/news/history
-rw-r--r--  1 news          115 Dec 21 09:59 /usr/lib/news/history.dir
-rw-r--r--  1 news      1207156 Dec 21 09:59 /usr/lib/news/history.pag

It's 1/7th of what you imagine.
