I received one mail message from you, I wrote a response and it bounced.
The mail was sent from UUNET, which is fairly reliable.  I got a second
mail message from you, told what I just wrote, and promised a more
detailed reply.  I have seen one or two people ask for comparisons, but I
don't recall your name -- and certainly not "several times."

Nobody really knows how to compare INN and C News for incoming UUCP
processing.  Anecdotally, if you have memory the few people who have
converted from C News to INN have found it to be speedier.  The rnews
in INN unpacks batches and offers them one at a time to innd.  This
is fairly fast.  If you have lots of incoming batches, queue them up
and run multiple rnews's (heh heh).

While not designed to be most efficienct in a UUCP-only environment, INN
seems to work there quite well.  The minute NNTP gets involved, INN starts
to win big.  I'm biased.  Your mileage will vary -- design and run tests,
and share your results.
