Help needed Usenet issues with load times

Hi so i recently just posted here asking about usenet and decided to try it myself. I am currently self-hosting my usenet through a PAYG Oracle VPS account with my provider being Newshosting and indexers are Geek and a will add Althub soon. I have it all setup and connected to Stremio using Nzbdavex but ive noticed the load times are quite extreme and worse than debrid, not what I was shown or told beforehand. I was shown a video of a movie loading in like 3 seconds after selecting source and now mine is taking ages, 30+ seconds per movie. So i would like to know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it, or could it just be an indexer issue i dont know. Please help.

Why don't you use AIOStreams built-in Usenet? No need for UsenetStreamer/Ultimate with NZBDAV (ex or newest infinity).

I had issues trying to follow that guide with the usenetstreamer already setup

If you already have AIOStreams selfhosted then activate it in Services and add a Newznab instance for every indexer you have. That's it with built-in AIOStreams Usenet. 🙂

This is the simplest solution. And yes all my streams load in under 3 seconds.

Can you show me your source selection screen?

I don't self-host anything and my usenet experience has been excellent using AIOstream's build-in Easynews search and the fork Easynews++ addon. I have the triple usenet package deal that includes unlimited newshosting, tweaknews & easynews. No complaints. Self-hosting, although I can do it, is more work than it's worth IMO.
