I wondered if that speed was abnormal (modem connection 56k but
usually connects around 26-30)

Well, not being a "power user" I only have some 19 nntp groups, 3 of
which are unsubbed.  But I keep them around for an occasional look.

Would the "check-new-groups" setting be important?  I see no
difference with "nil" or "t".

I'm staying away from setting read-active-file to "nil" since I really
am enjoying the setup you posted as your 2 gnus on/off setup.  Thanks
for that...
