How long should it take to SKIM remote served news groups? I'm trying
to get Version 5.9c running with WINTCP under VMS 5.2. With a remote
unix machine as server for all groups. I can "ping" the machine with
results of 20-30ms. Getting articles works fine. But doing a SKIM to
update the header list takes 10-20 minutes PER GROUP. Also ftp/telnet
to the machine work well. 

				What can be wrong?

P.S. Thanks for any help!
