Well, your choices are BERK, DUMB, both and neither.  The workstation
on my desk is faster than a VAX-11/750, so I use neither. (The reason
for BERK was to make MH faster on slow CPUs.)  BERK disables MH's address
parsing; DUMB prevents MH from trying to rewrite addresses to their
"official" form.  Perhaps you want DUMB and not BERK?
