I've just landed some huge changes into CVS that does some very
dramatic things to large binaries newsgroups:
* Much, much smaller memory footprint:
A group with 133,000 articles now eats 19 meg instead of 63 meg!
* Big groups thread faster and show up in the header pane MUCH faster.
* The data files in ~/.pan/servername/ roughly 50% smaller.
I've been playing with it for a few days now and these gains seem to
have no downside, so if anyone else wants to give it a spin, I'd very
much like to get more people testing this out.
