Here are some times for cnews vs. 2.11.14 to process a single 
compressed batch (~50K) (all the way from rnews to the spool 
directory): 

2.11.14:

real:  12.1 
user:  2.2 
sys:   1.8 

cnews

real:  28.1 
user:  2.1 
sys:   6.8

This was a quick and dirty test - can anyone confirm these results?  

I see roughly 16 processes starting up for each batch that cnews
processes.  Does anyone else find this suprising?
