Subject: ;AAD much faster than D in news groups?

I've just started using Pine as a news reader and I'm coming up with
strategies for how to do it efficiently.  I want to "delete" articles that
I've seen and my first strategy was just to type D after viewing an
article but I've discovered that often typing D takes a long time to
register (this is only in news groups BTW) while typing ;AAD to mark all
deleted is infinitely faster.  Do other people experience this speed
difference?  Does anyone have any tips for using Pine as a news reader?

Thanks,
Nancy

PS - Feature Request: Have a setting so that all articles in a news group
are marked read when you leave a group.  This is the way most news readers
work.
