I think you've already done that implicitly by setting nnimap-stream to
network and thus forbidding encrypted connections. Is that really what
you want? The overhead of encrytion (if there's any) won't make a
difference compared to the normal network latency.
The only thing that will speed up things quite a lot is to install a
local imap server and let gnus connect to it. Syncing between
ucimap.ucm.es and the local server can be done with offlineimap [1], for
example.
Bye,
