Rule 1: don't optimize
Rule 2: don't optimize (yet)

Is there an actual problem with opening 1 tcp socket to the nntp server
per http request?

If there is you can:
-write a daemon like you suggested, can be written in any language you
feel comfortale with (that includes php).
-switch (partially) to an other enviroment which actually has support
for threading (eg Java/Servlets)

But that only fixes problems where setting up an initial connection to a
(nttp) server takes a huge amount of time (relatively speaking). But
that might also mean there is a network configuration error hidden
somewhere.
