nnml is just like nnmh, only with .overview files ==> *much* faster!
nnmh will need to read every file in the directory to assemble summary
information, nnml just reads the .overview file.

You could switch just that one group to nnmh.  Or you could use MH on
nnml folders, IF YOU TAKE CARE TO DO IT READ-ONLY.
