You might not see old posting in the threads... ,----[ (info "(gnus)Filling In Threads") ] | `gnus-fetch-old-headers' | If non-`nil', Gnus will attempt to build old threads by fetching | more old headers--headers to articles marked as read.

I've set it to t, but I fetch all newsgroups groups from my local leafnode server, which does expire Gmane groups, so I don't experience the slowness. Maybe we should warn about this setting when using news.gmane.org. Do others see the slow access on Gmane with as well with `gnus-fetch-old-headers' set to t?
