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.
