It would be an interesting data point to know what CPU you are using 
and how much physical RAM you have.

Noted BNR2 in the back of my mind as an alternative for large 
newsgroups. Looked into it a bit and appears to be available only in 
binary form, but for Linux and Windows. http://www.bnr2.org/

I don't doubt for a moment that the Linux binary will install and run 
on FreeBSD but its usually easier to extract source and compile than to 
extract and install Linux binaries from a .lnw shell script. Source is 
posted for BNR1.
