I think you may be mistaken.  The #1 thing you can do to make Gnus
startup faster is to kill off your zombie groups.

Does your NNTP server support `LIST ACTIVE GROUP'?  Gnus should
autodect it if it's available (evaluate
`nntp-server-list-active-group' after starting Gnus).  Since my nntp
server was switched to a newer model which supports that command, if I
blink I miss Gnus' nntp initialization. :-)
