[Mailman-Users] archRunner hogging CPU

[Anne Ramey]

Continued digging lead me to FAQ 4.41....how recent is this.  Does 
anyone else still run into this on the newer versions?  I'll talk to 
some of my list owners and I can change the default, but I was wondering 
if I was chasing a false lead?  (Another note, most of the lists are 
fewer than 100 members)
