I benchmarked it, with one nnimap server, and 5 NNTP servers (two of
which are news.gmane.org, but that shouldn't make a difference...?).
There are 61 active nntp groups on level 3.

This is on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1.5GB of memory,
running debian testing, and GNU Emacs 23.2.1.

Before git pull:
(benchmark-run 50 (gnus-group-get-new-news))
(49.284682 11 1.154320999999996)

After git pull and rebuild, and a freshly started emacs:
(benchmark-run 50 (gnus-group-get-new-news))
(28.975652 19 1.3127539999999993)

So... it's nearly twice as fast in real time used, but it spends more
time in garbage collection.
