"Huge"?

How?

(setq
 ;; ask news server for new groups...
 gnus-check-new-newsgroups	nil

 ;; ...so don't keep a list of the killed ones...
 gnus-save-killed-list		nil

 ;; ...and kill the zombies generated because of this before we save 
 gnus-save-newsrc-hook		'gnus-group-kill-all-zombies
)

Don't save it if you don't want it!
