There's a discussion about adding multithreading to Emacs in the
emacs-devel mailing list.  You can voice your support for that work or
contribute to it.  Without multithreading Gnus must be synchronous.  See
some posts, including mine, in that thread listing reasons.

What exactly is slow for you?  Obviously we all have our specific Gnus
setups, so I think it's useful to find the slow spots that affect all
users, not just the developers.
