When gnus-agentize does its thing, I wonder if it'd made sense not to
agentize a server nntp "localhost".
Unless I'm missing something, the agent stuff doesn't add much to a
server that's always available like localhost.
I guess maybe I should be using nnspool instead of nntp. I had an
idea leafnode likes you to nntp, in particular to maintain its
"interesting" groups list.

I think it might be difficult to tell what is local and what is not.
Should it check the server name or nnimap-server-address? I guess the
latter, but this would mean, for me, that all my servers would
unagentized, because I use ssh port forwarding.
I think agentizing a server is useful even on localhost -- it only
caches NOV data by defult, which can be useful for threading purposes
etc.

I use Leafnode on localhost. I benchmarked the difference agentized
and unagentized a while ago, and the Agent didn't offer any speed
benefit. So I turned it off.

I'm thinking only of ``(nntp "localhost")'' which certainly ought to
be local, and is likely to be what leafnode users such as me have.

I'd found it greatly slows down a `g'. And seemingly every `g', not
just (for instance) when there's new articles. I haven't tried to
find out why.

I dunno, I used (nntp "localhost") to access a ssh port forwarded news
server for some time. But this might not be a widespread usage, so
perhaps the auto-agentizing logic can be improved. Patches welcome.

It could be useful to track down this, in parallel to the other
changes.
