I agree with you, these numbers are crazy. Actually I was looking at the
time elapsed, and I can't interpret them at all. It says 18.6 seconds
where as the whole process lasts 10 seconds at most.
I re-did several times the same benchmarks and the figures seem stable.

Here's my summary line format if that can help:
(setq gnus-summary-line-format
(concat
"%0{%U%R%z%}" "%10{│%}" "%3t" "%10{│%}"
"%(%-20,20f %)" "%10{│%}" "%1{%d%}" "%10{│%}"
"%6V" "%10{│%}" "%10{%B%}" "%s\n"))

Ok, I'm trying...
Let's remove my summary line format customisation... and the numbers are
now:
gnus-topic-select-group 1 8.071814 8.071814
gnus-group-select-group 1 8.071757 8.071757
gnus-group-read-group 1 8.071748 8.071748
gnus-summary-read-group 1 8.071693 8.071693
gnus-summary-read-group-1 1 8.071681 8.071681
gnus-select-newsgroup 1 7.30483 7.30483
gnus-summary-limit-children 1324 7.1840629999 0.0054260294
gnus-fetch-headers 1 6.445576 6.445576
gnus-get-newsgroup-headers-xover 1 6.420683 6.420683
gnus-articles-to-read 1 0.818016 0.818016
gnus-summary-prepare 1 0.573297 0.573297
gnus-summary-prepare-threads 1 0.553526 0.553526
gnus-run-hooks 1337 0.2399320000 0.0001794554
gnus-summary-highlight-line 1326 0.2316510000 0.0001746990
gnus-sort-threads-recursive 837 0.1313619999 0.0001569438
gnus-summary-initial-limit 1 0.10973 0.10973
gnus-summary-highlight-line-0 1326 0.0972370000 7.333...e-05
gnus-summary-maybe-hide-threads 1 0.04301 0.04301
gnus-summary-hide-all-threads 1 0.043 0.043
gnus-summary-next-thread 44 0.0411179999 0.0009344999
gnus-summary-go-to-next-thread 44 0.040834 0.0009280454
gnus-retrieve-headers 2 0.03551 0.017755
gnus-map-function 1352 0.0294150000 2.175...e-05
which seem much more sensible.
Now restoring my summary line format and removing only the "%6V" format
specifier gives almost the same sane results.
