Based on a previous thread in the ding list about slow presentation of a group, I now have the following comment and setting in my .gnus file: (setq ;; Show headers of previous messages in a thread ;; Don't do this; it greatly slows down presentation of the group gnus-fetch-old-headers nil ) My recollection was that the difference in speed, disabling this, was remarkable.
