The Gnus and Procmail are two diffrent methods. The Prcmail is always there
and filtering the mail, whereas you have to keep Gnus running or
active to have mail split.

If I take a vacation or Gnus(Emacs) process dies, the procmail still cruches
the messages to right folders. In addition reading the groups with
new mail take no time at all :-)

All of your Maling lists could have been trapped with simple procmail module
call:

    # ~/.procmailrc start

    PMSRC = $HOME/.procmail             # procmail module source directory
    SPOOL = $HOME/Mail/spool            # The Gnus procmail spool

    INCLUDERC = $PMSRC/pm-jalist.rc     # see if this the mailing list message

    #   if this was mailing list, drop to mailing list folder. The mailing
    #   list name is already derived to LIST
    #
    #   linux-announce --> $HOME/Mail/spool/list.linux-announce.spool
    
    :0 :                
    * LIST ?? [a-z]
    $SPOOL/list.$LIST.spool

    # end ~/.procmailrc

This same recipe adaptively finds any new mailing list you may subsribe to.
