I get a palpable (>10 seconds) pause before my few NNSPOOL method groups (local fake mail-to-news stuff) start flickering by at the limits of invisibility. What's happening during that dead time? Also, is there any way to be saved from myself in a way which gnus manages because .newsrc is actually in a buffer, namely that if I am running Gnus on one machine, run it AGAIN (e.g. from home) and read a bunch of news and exit, then quitting Gnus on the first machine the next day DOESN'T notice that .newsrc[.eld] has changed and simply overwrites? ht
