LMI> But 15 minutes!?  Are you serious?  How many groups is that?

There are a continual stream of new groups, especially under my
Bugs/Debian/, Bugs/Gnome/ and Commits/Gnome/ hierarchies.  So it
is now a bit over 21k.  (You may remember that it was 20k when
you first released the new nnimap.)

Also note that startup had become as long as 80 minutes before
you started the new nnimap and before I made dbmail-imapd's LIST
command fast.

The 15 minutes is spent servicing the examine/uid fetch requests.
Qresync will not help, since it is only an argument to select or
examine.  To get startup faster would require that LIST reply with
everything gnus needs for each listed group.  Or a box with order-
of-magnitude faster RAM, of course. ☺
