I have about 80 nnml groups, nfs mounted, which are priority 1. when i punch 1 g, it takes about 10-15 seconds to incorperate new mail (even if only 1 new email). The thing is, that this i exactly as long as it takes for me to check all new news (i.e., hit g). The thing is, to check all new news, it needs to hit an nntp server for a couple of dozen groups AND use nnmh backend to check the "active file" from about 20 folders, ballpark 5000 individual files. I expect this to take 15 seconds over nfs. I do not expect it to take 15 seconds when just checking out the nnml groups. In particular, it would appear that 1 g does the same backend work as g (for me). Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? My .gnus and a var dump should be in the mailing list archive.
