Sure, the lists will be somewhat slow. The bandwidth needed to deliver
all these is right on the limit of what I can provide. At peak times the
box falls behind, but then it catches up as things slow down. And
sometimes I need the bandwidth and I will just unplug the list server for
a while as my connection is pretty much useless when the box is plugged
in.

This is a temporary situation just to get the lists working again. An
alternative will need to be found quickly.
