[leafnode-list] 2 leafnode features?

These are <observation/queries> from an aging Linux Newbie, who has just
managed to get Leafnode to work.

My first call to leafnode 1.9.18 to download sample headers of my
selected newsgroups worked perfectly.  However the group-window, as
displayed by slrn, also listed 6 new groups that I had not requested
(marked as new).  Is this a Leafnode feature?  And, if so, how can I
disable it?

Secondly - and this has been commented on in the leafnode FAQs -
leafnode is slower than leafnode 2.0++.  However, leafnode's attraction for
me is its ability to `delaybodies' download.  What are my chances of
getting the best of both worlds?

Attached to this email are extracts from my logs that may contain clues
to both the problems that I encountered on my first venture into
leafnode/fetchnews.

I would welcome advice about what is going on and what, if anything, I
need to do.
