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).

M-x elp-instrument-package RET gnus RET, fetch new mail, M-x
elp-results. It's quite useful.
('nn', 'mail', 'message' are other packages you'd might want to
instrument too.)

Ok, did this. Does this make any sense to you gnus/elisp gurus?

That's kinda odd, since gnus-group-get-new-news calls
gnus-active-to-gnus-format, so it should be impossible for this to
happen. Might be some kinda recursitivity issue.
Anyway:

This looks way too slow. 18 seconds to save the active file? Are you
sure you've byte-compiled everything?

The reason might be the special character issue. After adding those
web groups, the group names become weird, so that a lot of
back-slashes have to be added to the active files. This could be
time-consuming.

Yes, that's true. David, do you use any web groups, and are those
covered by the Agent?
