afer compiling tin with -DDEBUG and calling it with "-D 1" it shows
that tin doesn't feeze but is damned slow (the XHDR XREF fallback
code doesn't look very optimal, but as it usualy shouldn't be needed
at all that's "ok"). if you don't like that feature you can recompile
with --disable-xhdr-xref. on 'normal' configured servers this is no
disadvantage, but on servers which do not have the Xref:full in thier
overviews tin isn't able to mark crossposted articles as read when
one of them is read.
local overview caching might also help to sped up things on such
servers (didn't test that).

tin-dev: it might be a good idea to use "XHDR XREF -" instead of
single "XHDR XREF num" to speed up things (or at least do it in some
chunks "XHDR XREF n-m" "XHDR XREF m+1 - p" ... or stream the querys)
anyone willing to look at this?
