Why I switched from using rn to nn:

Our set up was reading news via nntp from another machine, using rrn. The
first reason I switched was simply that KILL files in rrn took so long, and
my KILL files were very big. Once switching, I found that in general nn allows
me to read news much quicker than I ever could with rn. Having articles
grouped by Subject is probably the biggest initial advantage.
