Maybe it's just the quantity > of code loaded. Did someone profile it a few years ago? Could some of you quantify this 'slow startup'? Maybe I've just gotten used to the speed, or lack thereof, of Gnus, so it doesn't feel so slow to me - maybe the GHz-machines has helped, or maybe I use Gnus differently - I don't know. On my work-machine (Intel Core2 1.86GHz), where I only read email (with nnml) it takes ~4s. At home (Athlon Dual Core 4850e 2.5GHz) where I connect to three news-servers (a local, gmane and an external - but only 112 groups in total), read email (with nnml) and have 18 nnrss groups (fetched via cron), it takes ~14s. (I measured simply by stop-watching from M-x gnus until the group buffer shows up and is ready.) Best regards, Adam -- "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly."
