I am running C news on a Tower 32/600 and by examining the log file
/usr/lib/news/log it appears that it is taking around 4 or 5 seconds to process
each article.  You might want to find out if you are getting a batched feed or
each article individually fed to rnews.  Unless I've drasticly misunderstood
Henry Spencer the latter should have "dreadful" performance.

Hope that this helps.
