I enter the group 2. Gnus generates a Summary buffer (without selecting the first article) 3. _Then_ I select an article. The first article I select, whichever article it is takes a very long time to display. Following that article selection is instantaneous. If I exit the Summary then re-enter it and select a different article the same amount of time is needed as before. However if, when I re-enter the Summary buffer, I select the same article as before then display is instantaneous (I have the backlog set). -- Eze Ogwuma
