You shouldn't be using -e if nntpcached is already running.
-e starts up an nntpcached, performs an expire, then exits.
What you should be using is:
SIGUSR2
Force the master server to perform an expire.

nntpcache tries three times to contact the server (unless it has
been contacted) before during cache-miss. This is probably the delay
you are seeing. Ideally this should be changed to a back-off and
ignore algorithm.

How were your monumental times? If anything will keep HK free it
will be the inet - it seems to me that large infra-structure and
marketing investment now in hk is vital to your political and social
democracy in the future.
