I don't see numbers quite that high with local peering, but would
guestimate that 50% or more of out nntp traffic is across a local
exchange.  I'm hoping to move another 20%+ of my total traffic off onto
AADS next week, which by no means is a local exchange, but Chicago ISP's
have never been able to agree on local peering, so AADS it is for Chicago
still.
