All of the ones that should have.  I have a group I'm using for testing
that only takes 20 seconds or so to exit.  I renamed it a bit under two
days ago and total-expire is set to 2.  There are 39 articles in it.

Just pulled the last three commits from git and rebuilt.  Entered and
exited the group a couple of times to make sure that it hadn't magically
gotten faster.  (It hadn't.)  G E shows:

("system-updates-2" 3
 ((1 . 139843))
 ((unexist
   (1 . 139804))
  (seen
   (136648 . 139843)))
nil
((modseq)
 (uidvalidity . "1205769859")
 (active 1 . 139843)
 (permanent-flags %Answered %Flagged %Draft %Deleted %Seen %*)
 total-expire
 (expiry-wait . 2)))
                      
Doesn't look particularly problematic to me.
