It's true Gnus could be fairly slow for some jobs. To make my life a little better, I tried to use Gnus in full offline mode. I use fetchmail+maildrop to get mails and deliver to local Maildir, then use nnmaildir to read mails. Good enough for me. nnrss is really a headache, esp. when I have many subscriptions. Gnus is slow in comparison with other dedicated RSS readers. I use NetNewsWire and can see the speed gap. I am trying to find a solution to make RSS reading offline. I found RSS2Leafnode (http://user42.tuxfamily.org/rss2leafnode/index.html), but it needs Leafnode 2, and Macports only has Leafnode 1. I need find some time to install Leafnode 2 from source and check if RSS2Leafnode is good enough. Another candidate is nntp//rss (http://www.methodize.org/nntprss/). But its download link is b0rked. Yet another candidate is rssdrop (http://search.cpan.org/~acg/rssdrop-0.2/), which could deliver RSS feeds to local Maildir.
