IIRC we had an email exchange about the phenomenon a few weeks ago and 
agreed that the biggest part of the delay was not in the gateway but in 
the NNTP path from the posting site to the GW's news server.  There's 
probably nothing we can do about other than changing the news provider. 
  But I believe someone mentioned that this is not easy because news 
provider generally prohibit this kind of mirroring business in their rules.

Kind regards
