So it is as fast as before, which is unusably bad :-) Yes, because while it's fast, it also tries to download every article my server knows about. > Okay.

Maybe that helps some more. There are some changes in the behaviour. With `gnus-agent-consider-all-articles' set to nil, it still does what I described above. If I set it to t, Gnus just locks up until I hit C-g. I've been staring at the code for quite some time, but I don't understand why it doesn't work. It is clearly conditioned on gnus-agent-consider-all-articles. It really _ought_ to work. -- Booting... /vmemacs.el
