I don't use NNTP, so I can't test, but what I can say is that most of
freeze I'm experiencing is due to slow/no DNS resolution or connection.
It seems to methat resolving/connection is blocking Emacs, but not the
data downloading. That's something Lars proposed to tackle down a while
back on emacs-devel IIRC, btw.
