Does your machine thrash during expire?  It sounds like it might, 
especially if it's being used for other things.

Anything in news.crit or news.err is certainly worth looking at.  You 
might also find some things in news.notice, although I'm not sure how 
to tell you what to look for -- I guess grep for messages from "expire" 
and see if they seem routine or not.
