prespawning pop3 processes

1) I have notice that getting messages from my server is really
slow... so I figured that it was due to pop (ipop3d) deamons not being
prespawned, and started by xinetd on demand.

2) given #1, I would like to speed up the resonse time, and
thought I could setup say 25 prespawned processes, and more
as needed - after reviewing the man pages it didn't seem
like there was a way in the xinetd.conf... and I should use
inetd to do this.

Question1: is this the correct approach, or is there a
way to prespawn from xinetd?
Question2: Redhat 7.1 uses xinetd, and not inetd at all,
so how can I get inetd working painlessly.

Thanks for your feedback!
