Word on the net is that 3.0 Netnews may be out shortly and C News may
also be out soon.  The question I have is what are the advantages
of each?  The configuration I am concerned about is a machine whose
sole reason for being is to pass news, since it passes a LOT of news
it does not have many CPU cycles to spare.  The bottom line
is "Will C News and/or 3.0 Netnews speed up inews/rnews and expire?"
and if so how much?  I do not care about news readers since they
all use NNTP and are on different machines.

Any comments from the beta testers or other knowledgeable people
is appreciated.
