Not sure if they are slow or not but my `gnus-summary-line-format' is:
gnus-summary-line-format is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
Its value is
"%8{%4k│%}%9{%U%R%z%}%8{│%}%*%(%-23,23f%)%7{║%} %6{%B%} %s\n"
Original value was
"%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
And summary line for this message is:
4.5k│R. │Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen║ ┣━━❯

It didn't make a noticable difference (approximately 1 minute).
Out of the 16 minutes it took to see the summary of
gmane.emacs.gnus.general, the following happened:
`SPC' (gnus-group-read-group) started at 7:13PM
Fetching headers for gmane.emacs.gnus.general...
Unknown charset: unknown
Fetching headers for gmane.emacs.gnus.general...done at 7:15PM
Sorting threads...done at 7:19PM
Generating summary...done at 7:29
This was with these settings:
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
'((not gnus-thread-sort-by-date))
gnus-article-sort-functions
'((not gnus-article-sort-by-date))
When I removed these settings, "Sorting threads" was pretty quick but
generating "Generating summary" was about the same (approximately
10 minutes).

How many lines did the summary buffer end up being, and what CPU does
your machine have? And is it swapping?

Taking 20 minutes to render 67k articles in threads sounds way too
slow. Do you have any particularly slow summary line enhancements?

In the Group buffer, hit G P and enter the lisp form and C-c C-c. The
one below limits display to 50 articles. You can change it to any
number. See the info section on Group Parameters in the Manual
((display . 50))

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if anyone else experienced "slowness"
when initially accessing the gmane.emacs.gnus.general newsgroup.
The newsgroup currently has:
67933:*gmane.emacs.gnus.general
It took about 20 minutes before I saw the *Summary* buffer.
It appeared that the bulk of the time was spent in generating
the summary after sorting the threads.
Is 20 minutes about what you have experienced?
Do you have any non-default settings of either threading or sorting
that you would recommend for a group this size or is this just
something to expect?
I am running the latest bzr Gnus as of today.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
