Is it downloading or article rendering that takes time? See the
troubleshooting section in the manual for how to tell. If downloading
is slower than in other clients, something is buggy, but viewing large
messages is known to be slow in Gnus since the article is copied
around a few times.
Hm. Zero-copy would be nice, but would probably require some new emacs
primitive. Like a text overlay to inline one buffer into another.
