I still don't see why `gnus-no-server' needs to open each of my
nnfolder groups while `gnus' doesn't. According to the Gnus manual,
the difference between the two is that the former doesn't contact my
primary server (nntp in my case). Why does that change the behaviour
on secondary groups? I have a lot of nnfolder groups, and even before
I compressed them, `gnus-no-server' took *much* longer to start up
than `gnus' did. Does it have to be this way?
