I'm just curious if anyone knows why it takes so long to jump
to a group that is not subscribed to. Using XEmacs 19.13 and
sgnus 0.77. It used to be almost instantaneous. Now it takes
10 to 20 seconds.

I have the same problem with sgnus 0.76. Jumping into a mail group, I
get a «Fetching headers» message that stays for an unbearably long
time. Newsgroups are still fast.

Switching groups mail or news, has always been very slow for me. I've
always assumed it had something to do with a huge active file -- the
local news server had over 15,000 newsgroups the last time I counted.
Nothing Gnus does with that many newsgroups is fast ... (or did the
last time I checked, which was quite awhile ago).

The «Fetching headers» message is something different. The speed of
that varies widely depending on the backend and the editor. XEmacs
19.13 + nnmh can be excruciatingly slow and memory hungry. Emacs is
better behaved though. I've heard a number of performance complaints
fetching mail from backends off of NFS.

No, the size of the active file shouldn't affect the speed of
switching between groups. The number of (un)subscribed group does
affect speed, though -- especially when using topics.
