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?
