The facts:

338.5 MB Spool Space.
Default expiration.  (one of the few on both counts I would think.)
7 full downstream news feeds, and 4 partial feeds.

The Result:

Spool partition is always at *least* 70% of capacity.
Current figures (within the last 2 weeks) are running about 80%.  
Some of my neighbors don't always pick up their stuff though....
