That messed is skipped (not downloaded) because it was crossposted to many
groups (so likely SPAM). That threshold is configurable (max_new
groups_per_article), default is 5.

I don't think the skipping of articles slows anything down. More likely,
you're just downloading a lot of articles or a lot of big articles. You can
reducing the yield interval and length of newslink sacrificing some CPU
utilization for faster downloads - "lines_per_yield" and "yield_length" - set
'em both to 0.
