Got it. The problem is that I have gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups
set to ".*". When doing a catchup, Gnus grabs the article range which is
something like (min . max) and maps over all the actual numbers in order
to add the expirable mark on each article. So no wonder it takes hours.
What's more intriguing is that this variable is not supposed to affect
nntp groups so I hadn't expected this behavior. But now that I think of
it, I realize that all my nntp newsgroups articles have the E mark set
(I can see that in the summary buffers), which does really make sense,
does it ?
