According to a discussion on news.software.nntp increasing VNODES
may help boost news server performance.  Anyone know the correct way
to do this? In param.c NVODE looks like a likely variable, but it seems to be 
derived solely from MAXUSERS (which I already have set to 256) rather than 
being able to be set independently.
