I do no preselect, so this happens for me as well on a slow line. However I have set gnus-agent to cache all articles read, so the next time is much faster. I never use agent prefetch because I've found its behaviour annoying when I first started using agent, and have never had any incentive to revisit it (there is a size cutoff that at the time left out many of the articles I wanted to read, and I've never looked into adjusting that to something useful). > In addition, gnus-group-get-new-news always tells me "nnimap read NNNk > from imap.math.uh.edu (initial sync of 4 groups; please wait)" while it > fetches about 400k in total.
