Hmm, what do you do for RTL? Most ISPs don't save more than 2-4 weeks back
(typically) for most groups, but if someone was reading it for a long time
and had cached headers on, they'd have to set some kind of expiry so that
they didn't wind up with 5,000 new messages per month. Maybe if you set
the article expiry to 90 days, that would be a good number.

Must be either re-fetching the .overview file, or really bad at processing
the cached list. If it's doing LB_INSERT's into a Win32 listbox, for
example, that could take a while if they forgot to turn off the refresh bit
while adding. Still, it shouldn't take more than 5 or so seconds. How long
is Netscape making you wait?
