I believe that Gnus has to re-login now and then, e.g. when connections
are idle for too long.  Logging in to my remote IMAP server currently
takes a bit under 1s, so the above could presumably add 10 to 20% to the
time taken to open a group.  If it's possible to avoid the round-trip
when it isn't needed, it seems like it would be a good idea.  (I haven't
followed the details of this discussion, so I don't know how hard it
would be to implement this.)
