I realize this is an old old thread... but I'm still having the
problem and have had all this time. I've gotten so used to working
around it that I kind of quit fussing with it... until, lately when I
posted about it again and got some help from Katsumi, that seemed at
first to fix things: It was some old code I had kicking around that
was from way back with this post I'm responding to, was current.
See the thread if interested:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/83778
Or from gnus:

I've ditched that old code of mine, and after a few refreshes I'm back
to having huge (never ending) waits when pressing 'g'. All nnml:
nnimap: etc gets refreshed , the last being nnfolder... but when it
hits the part where it nntp refresh...happens, it just never finishes.
I doubt it is a server problem since any single newsgroup or any nntp
server refreshes in a normal amount of time... I run in topics so if I
hit M-g on all gmane groups, good refresh time. Ditto for newsguy.com
and apn (forte-agent news service)
It only the over all 'g' refresh that goes into infinity.
If you do get a chance to respond to this message, I wonder how you
would track down what is happening during that infinite wait.
Watching the nntp-log buffer... doesn't show much... It seems to stop
at newsguy, but like I said I can refresh all newsguy groups with M-g
in a normal time frame.
How to make gnus show me what it is doing, or where to look for that?
