Long time to exit summary buffer, possible speed enhancement?

[Shane Holder <holder@mordor.rsn.hp.com>]

When I try to exit my mail group, it takes a longer than I think it
should ~10 seconds.  There is nothing to expire, nothing that gnus
should do.  I think part of the problem is that my list of articles is
pretty big, and maybe larger than it needs to be.  Gnus trys to be
smart and use ranges of numbers when possible, but if an article
doesn't exist, it will break up the range

  (11068 . 11096) (11098 . 11104)

for example.  Article 11097 doesn't exist, and thus this range gets
broken.  Would it be possible to make gnus understand that if an
article doesnt exist that it can collapse the range?
