Uqwk rate?

Since my ISP installed a new news server, the time it takes to
retrieve new posts and mail seems much longer. I must admit that
I never measured the time required in the past. I'm curious about
what others observe.

I measure the elapsed time that uqwk runs. (from uqwk start
until the compression starts and divide that into the
uncompressed size of news/mail. I get about 2.2K/sec. I had to
manually unzip the compressed file that was downloaded to get the
size.

Does anyone have any comparative information?
Thanks
