I recently learned how to use kill files and in some cases have kill files
that junk all articles then mark just the ones I want to see. The only
problem is that this is quite slow. Is there any way to force rn to process
the kill files, say from a script set to run early in the morning?

Since my kill files not only kills articles, but looks for things that I have deamed interesting (like my name, for instance, in any article) and lists the article number and subject of those articles. While it takes a long time for the process to cycle through, I can read what it mails me in less than a minute.
