I run my own news server with leafnode. As Usenet has gotten busier, I now
have over 74K files in /var/spool/news/alt/fan/cecil-adams . leafnode
doesn't deal with this well at all; a.f.c-a takes 1:50 to open, during which
time leafnode uses 97%+ (of one CPU, it's single-threaded) and trn just sits
there; the progress meter then takes a second or two to go from 0 to 100%.
I already have the news spool directory (ext3) mounted noatime. Is there a
faster filesystem, or some option I can give to leafnode, or is it that
leafnode just doesn't scale well and I should lower the retention time?
