If you (setq gnus-asynchronous nil) and enter a group and view the first two articles rapidly, does it hang too? I suspect the server might be slow. You can try (setq nntp-record-commands t) to see what Gnus is sending, and then use "telnet news nntp" or whatever to send commands manually to see if it really is the server hanging. (In earlier Gnuses asynchronous fetching was accidently (?) disabled by default.)
