It's not so bad once you get used to it. I have a tab open with my User CP (for subscribed threads) and another tab with all the new threads. Seeing how I'm subscribed to between one third and one half of all the current threads, I can just work my way down both lists simultaneously and get through all the new posts pretty quickly. There are usually between 25 and 50 threads that have received new posts every day (37 today). Once you throw in unapproved threads, reported posts, and responding to VMs & PMs, it adds up to roughly an hour, sometimes more, sometimes less. That's probably why so many Emulation moderators only last a couple months; it's a real chore. But luckily, unlike before, I actually get reports these days. There are a couple of members who are nice enough to report some of the SPAM (and one who, from what I can tell, reads almost every new thread :O).
But yeah, that's why I only log on once a day, sometimes twice. Any more than that and I get frustrated with how n00by most members are. I would wager that you get more intellectual-types over in C&M? Or, at least people who know how to spell "definitely" (I dunno why but apparently that's a really hard word for kids to spell :\).
