Multi part binary reception

Hello,
I am having an issue with only getting small portions of multi part binary
posts.  It should not be a bandwidth issue since I have a DS3 and am using
about 10% of it right now.  My news server is running inn 2.3.2 on an Alpha
EV6 500 which is about 80% idle so it should not be an issue of speed.  The
disk IO is pretty low also, I am running a large binary spool (500G) over
NFS, but the network traffic is really pretty low.


Here is my report for incoming data:

I accept about a gig an hour which I am sure is the problem.  Should I look
at dropping some unwanted binary groups (pron, etc.) in order to try to get
more of the multi part posts in other groups?  Is there something I should
tweak in my inn in order to accept faster?  I accept about 30G/day on an
alt.*, comp.*, rec.*, news.* feed.  

Here is my inn line

/usr/local/news/bin/innd -p4 -i0 -r


Ideas?
