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.
