What it does do, however, is close the connection (without quit) if you tell it to go to a new message before the last one has finished downloading. They consider this a feature in the sense that the user shouldn't be stuck downloading a huge message (makes it harder for users to go through alt.binaries.pictures.erotica :-) Forking off a new process is much more expensive for INN than nntpcache so I suspect that it isn't nearly as much of an issue.
