Yes, please give us your thoughts about why having the arrival time of
the headers be the arrival time is a problem. The arrival time is the
time the server becomes aware of the article, or first has it available
for reading, which is generally the same time at one sec resolution.

If you plan to keep the bodies in a LRU cache and reset the arrival time
every time you fetch it from backing store then you shot yourself in
that foot, it's not an innd problem.

I would love to have the capability of doing this, and putting the full
article fed posts in one set of cycbufs and the header fed articles in
another (LRU) cache. Sounds a lot like Diablo, doesn't it?

The header feed is a non-issue, if the backing server is running nnrpd to
serve the chaining you don't need it.
