Get rid of them. The way total expiry in nnml works is that nnml
checks all the articles in the range. Those old dormant/ticked
articles glue the lower endpoint of the range to a constant position,
while the upper endpoint keeps growing.
The bottom line is that when you exit the group, thousands of
non-existant files are stat'ted, which slows things down. Either get
rid of the dormant/ticked messages, or use auto-expiry.
