Hallo.
When I get headers from a really huge group (say 40000 headers) it takes a while.
It is rather obvious that it should take so much.
The problem is that this process blocks my emacs.
I wondered whether there is a way to tell gnus to pause getting headers after
some configured number of headers/bytes, pass the control to emacs and after a
while start getting next bunch of headers. This is the way VM works with emails.
Greetings.

Nope. Being asynchronous in Emacs is really difficult.
