Probably. It tries to read the head of the articles in 1k gulps. (Most heads are less than 1k.) `nnheader-insert-head' reads until it finds a blank line, or it has read 4k, whichever comes first. In fact, I've never tried whether the current implementation is any faster than just inserting the entire file into the buffer and removing the body. Does anybody feel up to doing some timings? -- Home is where the cat is.
