Lately I've noticed the time taken to exit a group, when gnus shows
"Expiring Articles..." has been pretty long.  Even going into a group
with only a handful of articles, reading them and exiting can cause a
30+ second wait.  During this time, Emacs consumes 100% CPU while my
IMAP server is idle.

My desktop isn't particularly slow (i7-3770K, 32GB of RAM) so I'm not
sure what emacs could be doing for that long.  I'm just running the
versions that came with Fedora 20 (emacs 24.3, gnus 5.13).  My IMAP
server is Cyrus 2.3.16, in case that's missing some go-faster extension.

Has anyone seen this kind of thing?  Any hints on where I can start
looking for what's going on?

Thanks,

 - J<
