What is a "normal" archive? With regard to the speed, SF has had
problems with shell crons and CVS. Slowly, they have fixed the
former, and announced a switch to Subversion to amend the latter
(which IIRC should be using new hardware now anyway).
Finally, what do we gain with "speed" for a non real time
communication channel? I've never noticed email delays longer
than a day, and even if they happened, would it be different from
a subscriber not reading his mailbox for a week or more due to
holidays/hospital/priorities/whatever?

I've heard better about developer.berlios.de (I think).
