Trying to make it faster, I have set (setq gc-cons-threshold (* 4 1024 1024)) (setq garbage-collection-messages t) in ~/.emacs, and that causes the display about messages written in the echo area to flicker. The other message flickers too fast to read it and doesn't show up in the *Messages* buffer, so I disabled the garbage collection messages to verify, and the flickering stopped. If gnus does call the garbage collection for every message it writes, is there a way to disable this? It's already slow enough, and I guess it would be a little faster without collecting garbage for every message written.
