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 ? -- Resistance is futile.
