As Tom said, this is not the text history file, but the .pag file which is
about 15% the size of the text file.  As Rob said, you can just comment
out the "dbzincore(1)" line in innd/his.c if you want.  As Takashiro said,
in INN1.3 this will become more configurable.

If you have multiple fast incoming feeds, you want the database incore.
Surprisingly, the penalty is not in memory use, but in updating it after
recieving articles.  I have a "write-through" patch from Rob that will be
in 1.3 that makes big speed-ups.  Jim posted a similar patch here.

Yours in summation,
