Organization:
Message-ID:
Subject:

Somewere between 0 and 200.

If I score on Subject: alone, slrn retrives headers for about
100-200 articles per second using the XOVER command to grab a
bunch of them in one transaction.  If I score on Organization:
and Message-ID:, slrn sends an individual command to fetch each
header for each article, and that probably runs at 2-5 articles
per second.  After doing some more informal timing, the
slowdown is probably closer to 50X than 100X.
