Then you're lucky...
Standard Souper sends one request to the server, is getting served,
sends another etc. If the server and the connection to the server
implies several delays, souper throughput will go down.
VSoup establishes several connections to the news server, i.e. send
several requests to the server, gets several responses, etc.
This means that the deadtimes of the connection will drop to almost
zero (if the server cannot serve request one or a packet of request one
is stuck somewhere in the internet, request two will be handled).
So it's much more likely, that throughput is limited by your modem line
if you're using VSoup compared to standard souper.
