Fast HTTP response, slow NNTP response. I bet if you can get new messages
headers in an ng, then you can load a message fairly quickly just after that.
I see this all the time. If I take too long reading a message, something
times out and the next message takes almost a minute, sometimes more, to load.
Even when I post this message, I have taken too long in its composition.
It'll take a couple of minutes to connect to LUGNET.COM -- but the actual
transfer after connecting will be quite fast.
Todd indicates that it's not something on the LUGNET.COM end, but rather some
clogged router between you and LUGNET which has no problems with Web traffic
but takes offense at nntp packets.

Change is good, but you can't keep it in your pockets forever.
