Gnus fetches the whole NOV (overview) data if `gnus-fetch-old-headers'
is t.  Try setting it to some number, say 100.  Does it help?

Then you should see something like this in the *nntp-log* buffer:

[DATE...] news.gmane.org XOVER 66578-66679

(See the function `nntp-retrieve-headers-with-xover')

In contrast to "normal" news servers, Gmane doesn't expire articles so
the overview might become really large.

Bye, Reiner.
