That would be nntpcached -e. With a properly configured nntpcache, you
would never have a need for this. The only thing that would help when
an expire runs at very slow speeds is to HUP the main nntpcached
process. Don't know why, but it helps sometimes. Oh, and don't run
nntpcached -e standalone. It's much faster when the nntpcache daemon
itself is running as well.
