If you use total-expire, Gnus loops over every article in the "active
range" checking the dates on the files to see if they should be
expired.  If you have an old ticked or cached article the active range
can be huge.

This is one of the good arguments for changing Gnus' dependence on the
notion of a single active range.  However, it requires changes to a lot
of code.
