I use NNTP all the time and don't see this problem.  It takes about 3
seconds to establish the NNTP connection between my laptop and lugnet.com
and then I can scan and download the 39 groups I'm subscribed to in just a
couple of minutes.

deeply enough to make a statement like that.  I wonder if the high message
counts in some groups are starting to slow things down.
