Hm, nope, my I idea was a bit different.  I've thought that it could be
possible to have something like an overview file which contains lines
for all articles in a group with the user-defined sorting.  Generation
of that file of course requires fetching all headers, but only once.
Updates could then be done incrementally [1].  Then C-u [-]100 RET would
simply mean use the top/bottom 100 lines of that file for the summary.

Well, at least that's the idea.

Bye,
