Ah, now I think I remember -- isn't the gnus agent basically the gnus caching layer? That's useful even when connected, if the network/server has a lot of latency. Not sure the optimal combination for me though; the problem is that my ISP tends to kill nttp connections even after only a short time idle, which confuses gnus ...
