Since CNews is using awk for many things (and awk is using floats and not ints) your speed is dependent on the speed of float operations. >My in.coming spool is running terribly behind, can I make >runnews process articles faster?

Just thanking everyone on the help on the speed problem with nntpd/Cnews. The solution was to configure BATCHED_INPUT properaly. I thought I had, ended up giving up on it, getting a fresh version of nntp, config'ing it and re-installing. Runs great. Using the workstation right now, no noticable load. Thanks everyone. -- Keenan Royle royle@cs.indiana.edu postmaster@cs.indiana.edu royle@iubacs.bitnet
