While John's proposing changing what happens at active-time, I'd like
to point out that it would be helpful to some of us if less happened
at active-time for nnml groups as well.  There's a lot of stat() calls
happening per group, and this kills performance if your nnml files are
across NFS.

It appears that there's a lot more going on than just reading the nnml
server's active file (which would then get cached by NFS while
activating all groups on that server), and that these things could be
moved to group entry time (or maybe in some cases, under
nnmail-get-new-mail).

One of these days I'll understand the Gnus code well enough that I
could just do this on my own...  Sigh.
