Is the NNTP forum unusually slow?

I use the mailing list interface, so I can't really tell the exact
response time (mailserver latency and everything, y'know). I do notice,
though, that once in a while there would be a derth of messages, and
then all of a sudden a whole bunch of messages all at once. I'm not sure
if this is because responses to the forum actually happens in sporadic
peaks of activity, or if this indicates occasional performance issues in
the NNTP server. (Or if it's an effect of my MX running spamassassin,
with spots of high activity caused by spamd latency.)
