I couldn't find `nnmail-spool-directory'.
I don't know the time properties of CacheFS, so I can't comment on
that.
KG> Does it make sense to move the spool directory only?
Assuming you mean `nnmail-spool-file', no. Reading from NFS is quite
fast unless the server or net is overloaded, it is writing that is
slow, especially creating a lot of small files (which is what nnml
does).
KG> Does it make sense to move the nnml directory only?
Yes.

No. Gnus entirely to blame for that delay, except in pathological
cases.
