Yup done. Quite easy ;)

Yup saw it reading the code.

What do you mean by that ?

In fact, performance are getting worst. Entering a NNTP group is so
long I could take a cup a coffee each time I enter one. Dunno though if
it is related to my changes :) What I think is that Gnus is totally
lost whith these changes. Even with regeneration of agent groups
doesn't help. I have articles fetched that are displaid as not and vice
versa. Quite weird.

Not that performance only aplly for nntp groups since I recently
switched to nnimap.

I have other problems with IMAP though.

I told gnus to split my mail from 'INBOX'. I have a default rule (sort
of catch-all group) named INBOX.mail in which I should see all mails
that didn't match to previous rules. My problem is that the 'INBOX'
group contain plenty of articles in it and numerous of them are only
contained in this group. I thought the INBOX group would be empty. Am I
wrong with it ?
