Set gnus-agent-consider-all-articles to nil.

The cache and the agent are redundant in that both create independent
local copies of your articles.  Are you sure that you want to do this?

Personally, I either set a group to never expire from the agent (in
which case I never cache those articles) or I expire after a short
time but use the cache for long term storage.  Which I do depends upon
the percentage of articles that I expect to keep in a certain group.
