I have noticed when connecting and reading mail from either discussion 
groups or binary groups that reading with "tin" is extremely slow as 
compared with "pine", and they both function the same way (or maybe 
not).  Anyone know why Pine v 3.91 is faster in pulling up USENET groups.

Although the subject says "Posting," I'm guessing you mean reading --
specifically bringing up a group.  My guess is that your tin does its own
threading -- I'd *much* rather have a threaded reader than a faster,
unthreaded reader.  (My tin lets the server thread, and I don't notice any
difference in starting a group.)
