Could you profile gnus or (probably more useful) look at tcpdump what
is taking so long?  Maybe it is the server that is slow.  My guess is
that it is the subscribed-groups operation that takes time.  (setq
gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil) to disable it.

The nnimap splitter doesn't imap-subscribe auto-created groups, you
need to do that manually.  g-c-n-n only gnus-subscribe imap-subscribed
mailboxes, which is slow and only useful if you create groups using
other IMAP clients often, and want Gnus to notice them.
