Strangely, it isn't when I enter a nnmaildir group from the Groups page that is slow. It is when I *quit* the nnmaildir group to go back to the Groups page that things take forever. I have about 5,000 messages in one maildir and 11,000 in another. My filesystem is ext3 (RH9). I've included my .gnus file below. I'm using Oort Gnus v0.18. Any suggestions?
