To speed things up, the splitting usually goes in three phazes:  1)
set-up, 2) saving articles, 3) saving control structures.
Multi-set-up and multi-control-structure-saving would require a
rewrite of quite a bit of the code, I think.

There's also the issue of what crossposting between various servers is 
supposed to mean.

Calling *-request-accept-article on all the messages would be
unacceptably slow.  Reeeally slow.
