After a re-install of perl onto a different machine, so that the main server doesn't have to cope with the processor load, I'm now running the gateway again. (Quite disappointed to see that my documentation for W32 didn't make it into the latest release).

Anyway, my speed problem - up to 90 seconds per retrieved post - seems to be down to my local ISP's news server at news.btinternet.com... I've tried testing the script with news.grc.com, a public news server dedicated to internet security, and it gets approximately two new messages a second, which looks quite acceptable in comparison!

This is Good News, up to a point: since there are no free NNTP servers for W32 that I can find, I still need to work on sourcing a new news server to use.

Wonder what the problem is?
