Hmm, are you sure?  The doc-string for `gnus-compile' is

     "Byte-compile the user-defined format specs."

and when I look at the function that seems to be exactly what it does.

I think `gnus-update-format-specifications' is the defun responsible for
converting format strings to Lisp.

But in any case, neither the non-compiled Lisp versions nor the
byte-compiled versions are saved in my .newsrc.eld.
