I have been using Xnews for 2 years now and really like it

It has however one thing that often renders unusable to me for

It freezes a lot when I do catchup & kill Xpost
Over time this has steadily gotten worse

I have limited Xnews to 40,000 headers

What groups are you reading that you want to see 40K headers at any
given time?

but the freezing now occurs with 12,000 headers

Maybe my computer is no longer upto it
WinME, 1000MHz, 256MB ram.

On my old computer (98SE, 128MB RAM), I was able to use Xnews with
Hamster with no problem. I suspect something else is the problem, not
Xnews.
