When I do a C-c C-d (gnus-group-describe-group) on a group, Gnus
downloads the whole newsgroup description list from the server, which
is quite slow. However, this could be done on a per-group basis:
200 news.inf.elte.hu NNRP Service Ready - newsadmin@inf.elte.hu (posting ok).
list newsgroups elte.test.group
215 descriptions in form "group description"
elte.test.group For testing newsgroups
.
or even
list newsgroups elte.*
215 descriptions in form "group description"
elte.inf.test For testing the local news system
...
elte.fozocske Sutes, fozes es az izleles muveszetei
.
Furthermore, if I put %D in gnus-group-line-format, Gnus downloads the
whole list on each startup, which has the same performance impact.
Again, this could be done selectively, only for groups for which the
info is needed, or Gnus could even cache descrptions (which are very
unlikely to change) in .newsrc.eld.
