It's still slow. I use nnfolder, and have around 60 mail groups är 40
news groups. When I press "2 g", it hase to go through all of them,
even if only one or two of them needs to be updated. Looking at the
mail spool manually and guessing what folder needs updating, and then
pressing M-g on that group is infinitely faster.
