I have asked this before but...

Is it possible to have the NNTP server add the news entries into
the database when it is recieved instead of writing it to a file for
later processing by NEWS/ADD.

The advantage with this is a more interactive news network with the entry 
available for reading directly when recieved by the system.

I suppose some performance will be gained as we do not have to write
all these temporary files.

By the way. If you look into the code there used to be a lot of temporary
files written by the news system. Is this really necessary. On a high volume
news machine, disk accesses will be a limiting factor even without reading
and writing all these temp files.
