I've just noticed while opening large cron daemon messages, a very
lengthy pause.

The messages run around 20,000 lines "wc" shows:
$ wc  <big-cron
19861   19922 103290
So, app. 1009K of data.

Gnus takes a full minute to open one of these. (timed at 59.6 seconds).
Mutt opens them instantly.

I'm sure gnus is doing a lot more work than mutt, but still this seems
too long.  What do other people see when opening a large message?  Is
this normal?
