Yes, group levels are the way to go.  Set gnus-activate-level to 4,
say, then type `g' to update the important groups and `5 g' to update
all groups.  (If your important groups are at level less equal 4 and
the others at level 5.)

Dunno about the `no more often than once every six hours' part,
though.  You could add a demon which did it automatically every six
hours, but that's not what you're asking for.  Or you could train
yourself not to hit `5 g' more often than once per six hours...
