[ILUG] leafnode vs leafnode+

[Brendan Kehoe]

I was running leafnode 1.9.19 for a while, but my wife was consistently 
having trouble getting her Mac to be able to reliably get new articles 
with MacSoup.

At the suggestion of someone, I checked out leafnode+ at 
http://www.io.com/~kazushi/leafnode+.  It did indeed resolve whatever 
the problem was with MacSoup.  But I also noticed that using either 
mozilla or xemacs+gnus, the response when I read news is dramatically 
faster.  Getting the current state of the groups is very, very quick.

The leafnode+ site offers some history on the divergence between the 
two.  Any theories on which, leafnode or leafnode+, is showing signs of 
living longer?  I wonder if it can overcome what emacs/xemacs haven't, 
and actually merge back into a single source tree.
