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. Ted
