I think Clive was actually talking about me, James..  our transport
system does (amongst other things) provide for an optimised NEWNEWS
method, but the code has digressed so much from stock-standard INN
(read, it's a complete ground-up rewrite), that it's not going to
be easy to provide a patch.

I'm pretty sure I sent you the concepts though in a private email
a while back whilst we were discussing other aspects of INN performance,
I can resend if necessary.
