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. --Paul
