Actually, that's what I thought. I just wasn't sure. Then, the problem which remains is the performance problem. See below.

Here's my example. I use babyl. I use the default expiration period (I thought it was 7 days). I have a group with 132 articles left in it. 35 are saved (marked !). The rest are expired (marked E). It took 100 seconds to expire the articles when I left the group ! Now, I noticed another thing which might be related. When I entered the group to see exactly what is in it (using ) gnus asked me if I wanted to see all 1703 articles ! Why would it think there are 1703 articles ?
