As do I.  I try to keep things so the spool is no more than 75% full
when news.daily kicks in, but it consistently stays in SPACE
optimization.  When it bounces into TIME optimization it kicks back to
SPACE within a handful of minutes.

Unfortunately the person who mk'd this filesystem didn't set me up
with enough inodes so I don't really have much choice but to keep it
no more than 75%!
