Well, they're nice to look at :)

I wrote a function for Gnorb that conducts an nnir search based on
information in the registry. It was horribly slow, because the registry
only records message-ids. So for each message found, it had to first do
a message-id->article-number lookup, then use that to actually retrieve
the article.

It was sort of too slow to be practically useful.
