With both CNFS buffers and buffindexed, my performance using INN has
greatly improved over previous releases ... the current -stable release,
unfortunately, doesn't have all the benefits of the current -current tree,
but its kinda like FreeBSD ... if you are willing to take a chance,
-current works very well, you just have to pick when you upgrade ...

Huh? INN never forked processes to handle connections ... unless you are
referring to an innfeed process for outgoing news?
