For news articles, I've found the best to be 'newfs -i 2048', which allocates one inode for every 2k. Default, I believe, is 4 to 1? On the other hand, I've found that if you go with a seperate file system for the .overview records, go with something like 'newfs -i 8192', which gives you a bit more storage space on those file systems.
