Hi Noel,
 

As for articles, text groups, in past 22.5 hours (since last daily
maintenance run) we've received just over 21K articles, at about 51mb.

 
Oh, interesting, I then wrongly thought there were less than this traffic.
Is your count of 21,000 articles a day after the run of spam and abuse
filters?
 
If I look at the statistics of Eternal-September, I only see about 3,000
articles a day in the Accepted column:

I thought they had most of text groups.  There is a huge difference (x7)
between the counts.  Do you happen to know which hierarchies have most
of the 21,000 articles?
 
i2pn2 and nk.ca have both about 6,000 articles a day; pasdenom.info
about 4,000, so I am intrigued by your volume.

My stats show approximately 25MB per day, any typically around 8,000-9,000
articles per day.

After the Google Groups fiasco went away that seems to be the 'norm' for a
full text feed.

I would like to have more statistics on articles per hierarchy/group.
