I'm running an old 5.1-current and a more recent 5.1-beta of about a
week ago in production as news servers and am reasonably pleased with
the results.  Other than the cvsup mirror I don't have any more
intensive test workload than that.  The 5.1-beta installation replaced
a W2K Advanced Server running NNTPRelay, and so far it's stayed up
three whole days, which is a hell of a lot longer than W2K ever did.

5.x is getting there.  It has been stable enough for desktop use for a
long time, and now the rest of the system is catching up.
