Using your settings, on a system with 4788 bogomips power (x8, mind
you), if I enter an imap group that has just over 2200 messages, but
with most of them read, I get the following from elp:

If I enter the group with C-u g, asking for 3000 articles (i.e. all of them for sure), I get

Not sure if this helps you or not...
With my own settings, the times are very similar. Are you asking to see
*all* articles in a large group? If so, there's not much you can do
about it, I would suggest.
