I used NoCeM a year or two ago (now I have a news server that wipes spam on their end, which is even cooler). The long startups aren't as bad after the first run, right? The first one takes the longest if I remember. And backgrounding the demon function, that has been pointed out, is the other really really good way to go. On a side note, you can also speed it up if you turn off the pgp verification (which could be hazardous if anyone posts a NoCeM article which isn't a valid one). I didn't have pgp when I first started using it, and there was a definite slow down afterwards. -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them."
