All the lists are occasionally slow. Usually, though, the lag is not
uniform. I often get follow-up posts to a thread before I've gotten
the initiating post. It's fairly frustrating, but it's better
than it used to be, and I think it stems from the fact NetBSD is
getting too popular. :-)

Take care,
