This additional information was sent to someone as a reply.

The problem isn't opening the group as I rarely select more that 100
articles. It's selecting the first article once I'm in the group.

I have this in my .gnus file so I get to choose which article to
select:
;; Don't select the first article automatically
(setq  gnus-auto-select-first nil)   

Whichever article I select then takes about 10-15 seconds to
display. All articles selected after that are almost instantaneous
whether they are above or below the first article.
