I know the pain :-) (but it has not been that much of a
problem for more in the recent past).  One minor improve-
ment: You do not have to open the server again (with O);
Gnus will do that automatically.  Also there is M-c to close
all servers (which, again, is benign as Gnus will automati-
cally open those that it needs to).

I never researched whether one could (or should) call
gnus-server-close-all-servers from outside the *Server*
buffer.
