IMO the single most greatest thing about the current generation of  
pan has been the huge increase in memory efficiency. Some large  
newsgroups used to push pan's memory image over 1.5GB. The FreeBSD  
default maximum process size is 512MB and had to be  increased  
because a lot of newsgroups exceeded that limit.

Learned in the old pan to "delete" messages I wasn't interested in so  
as to make room for new incoming.

With the current pan I have left the FreeBSD maximum process size at  
512MB, no longer "delete" messages, only mark them as read, and no  
longer have any memory issues.

I say "delete" because its only removed from pan's cache, its not  
sending a delete/kill request to the news server.
