One could include the message length in the .overview file, then Gnus
could add up the lengths of the messages preceding the desired one to
quickly find the right offset in the file to go to.

Would that be a workable solution?

The problem of having to load the entire nnfolder file into memory for
editing and stuff still remains, though.  Hm.
