Gnus (the client) can have different behavior for different groups
because of many things (e.g. scoring).

While I don't speak for the current Gmane operators, I know that when
Lars was running it he posted about the fun he had with storage
migration and optimization.

So it's entirely possible two groups could live on different storage
devices for administrative reasons, resulting in different performance
on the server.

Another issue may be filesystem or news server performance for small vs.
large groups.

Whatever the server-side reason, once you determine it's on the server,
there's not much you can do since Lars is not running it and the new
operators are not communicating with us. So let's hope it's on the
client side because then you could dig further.
