Subject: Gnus is sooo slooow
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII

We recently moved to using nntp rather than a mounted directory, this caused
these lines to hang xemacs:

(setq      gnus-read-active-file 'some
	      gnus-save-killed-list nil
      gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)

I have removed them and my .newsrc file only has 17 groups in it but
startup is still really, really slow. Any pointers please?

I have to say I still preferred the old gnus. I preferred the icons and
it was a *lot* faster.
