When I visit the server buffer and select a server, gnus re-reads the
huge active file. How can I prevent this? I need to see the active file
to select groups but I don't see why it cannot be cached. I have tried
the variable gnus-read-active-file but it does not seem to serve this
purpose.
If you know that this is impossible (without patching lisp code) can you
tell me? Thanks.

Nope, it's not possible, sorry. Hitting "RET" on a server in the
*Servers* buffer ends up calling `gnus-browse-foreign-server', which
unconditionally requests the group list from the server. These lists
could theoretically be cached, but right now they aren't.
