Yes.  I am, at least.  No real need to upgrade.

You want it to filter the list of articles, to decide what it wants to
download and decode, before it's downloaded the list of articles? :)

There's a lot of processing involved in that step -- grep it against
the $OPT_I (in ubh2 anyways) stuff, then remove the $OPT_X stuff, then
see if you have every part of a given item ... it's slow when a group
has 100,000+ articles.  And the only way I know of to really speed it
up would be to write that part in C, which really isn't practical and
may not help that much anyways (I've looked at the code, and don't see
anything obvious to do in perl anyways.)
