Howdy.

I am attempting to change the frequency at which mail and news
backends are checked independent of one another.

I use:

(gnus-demon-init)
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 30 nil)
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail 5 nil)

However, when new mail is successfully scanned, the *Group* buffer
is not refreshed.  When news is scanned, the *Group* buffer is
refreshed.  (This is because gnus-demon-scan-news tail-calls
gnus-group-get-new-news ['g'] which does the whole shbang.)

Any suggestions short of duplicating a whole mess of code in
gnus-start.el?

Cheers,
cjr
