It doesn't happen here, but I have an nntp server (leafnode) on my LAN. Access here is almost instantaneous, except when I happen to get an article in HTML or some not-found-on-keyservers PGP key use to sign messages. > Am I doing something wrong, or is it a fundamental issue (elisp is too > slow? something in the core of X/Emacs?) which renders Gnus unusable > for anything more then a very small groups? I dunno what you're doing or how, but here the reality is different.

It is faster here and the amount of groups is also big (Usenet + a brazilian network with a few thousand groups). Have you tried removing your configuration and redoing it? Be seeing you, -- Godoy.
