There is overhead in the default configuration related to anti-spam checks. You may not need them. > would the memory allocated to the JVM impact the CPU usage? Oh yes. Tons. Because with a smaller heap, it has to do a lot more garbage collection. Also, since you are working with a lot of large messages, you should increase the heap size. I also recommend (because it works for me) using Hotspot Server. You might also try, although I haven't yet, JRockIt (http://www.bea.com/framework.jsp?CNT=index.htm&FP=/content/products/jrockit ). Not that it is should be an issue with your test, but the current code in CVS has a configurable retry schedule. A test build with that should be available shortly. In addition to the nntp server, there is also an NNTP spooler that polls. I usually take care of that, too. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
