Gnus doesn't request all the flags not. Only the last 100 or so.

Other clients seem to do a LIST first, and then just do all the
EXAMINE/FETCH FLAGS things in the background in a separate thread.

Doing it as a single command will be faster, sure, but not that much
faster. The requests aren't done in lock-step -- nnimap just spews out
all the requests, and then sits waiting at the end.
