But does leaving a big news group (as opposed to a mail group) incur
the same delays?  (The original poster reported the problem with mail
groups, not news groups.)  I doubt it, since the slowdown I'm seeing
is due to gnus-driven expiration.  If leaving a news group is slow
also, that's probably a different problem.
