   28 articles/sec !!! Gak. I'm getting >100/sec on my uPort 2.4 system. (using
dbz)

   Some suggestions:

      - Get the compress sources, and fudge a version of compress that only
	uses 12 bits. Compile in small model. This is a major speed win.
	(Just define PCXT in the sources and remove the microport
	specific patches if you have applied them.)

      - Compile news in the small model. Small model programs work MUCH
	faster. It seems to work fine in the small model.
