A while ago it started taking forever to run
gnus-group-get-new-news. Basically it does the newsserver name /
garbage collecting for a long while. When I use a prefix (4 for
example, which excludes most groups on the "main" newsserver.

What I wonder is how I can "gauge" this to see what it is that takes
so long time. Any hints? It's starting to annoy me greatly. :-) I have
gnus-read-active-file set to 'some and are subscribed to rather few
groups (say 10-15 or so).
