Oops, this is probably a FAQ.

I realized people who use the nntp marks feature on purpose and
usually read articles in the unplugged condition should set the
gnus-agent-synchronize-flags variable to non-nil.

	* gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags): Switch the
	default to nil, to be able to use Gnus at all.  If the default
	switches to something else, then the function should be fixed not
	be exceedingly slow.

	* gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags): Revert to ask.
	Users will lose all flag changes made while unplugged with
	e.g. nntp unless flag synchronization happens, thus `nil' is not a
	good default.  See numerous reports on ding mailing list.

IMHO, we should set gnus-agent-synchronize-flags to t by default
or synchronize at least nntp marks automatically when Gnus is
re-plugged even if it takes time.  I don't know how it is slow
so far, though.
