Bill:

We hit this same thing with a 35,000+ subscriber list that gets
refreshed once a month or so.  We found moving from Listserv Classic
to Listserv HPO cut the add time from about an hour to literally
seconds - it was under a minute or so.  If you're doing it "rarely"
it may not matter, but it was well worth the licencing fees to go
to HPO - it speeded up the bulk loads of 4,000 subscriber lists
as well, and we get a LOT of those at the beginning of each semester.
