So If I understood you correctly, if I comment this line in functions_nntp.php

PHP Code:

// Index post for searching
build_post_index($postid, $foruminfo); 


and then use these functions (in Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance):

-> Rebuild Forum Information
-> Rebuild Similar Threads

(or perhaps Rebuild Search Index)

that will speed up the import process since the rebuild function will be called just once (at the end), is that correct?

(imported newsgroups are shown to visitors only after the import process is finished)
