One of the improvements in 1.8A (NJE) I recall was the reduction of time for someone to be added to a list. Well, I'm in the process of adding 131 people via the QUIET ADD command, and it's taking from 14-18 seconds for each person. This works out to about 30 minutes for all of my adds. During this time, of course, ListServ is basically dead for processing its reader files, all 8600 of them. Also, I recall reading that SIGNUP2 FILE would be gone, but it's still there. Am I missing something, or is this scheduled for the 1.8b release?
