Sometimes, nnimap says `checking group foo' for all groups.  This is
really fast.  At other times, it says `updating info for group foo'
for all groups.  This is really slow.  If you see the latter, I think
it would be best for you to make it so that nnimap says `checking'
instead.  I think you will observe an order of magnitude in speed
increase, much more than could be achieved otherwise.

I'm not sure what needs to be done to make it so, but I think the
problem is the select method. I have (manually!) set the select method
of all my nnimap groups to "nnimap:" (no parentheses!), and this
seemed to work well.  Maybe you need "nnimap+foo:", though.

And I find that nnimap switches from `checking' to `updating info'
when doing M-x gnus-no-server RET as well as when invoking M-x gnus
RET with a specific level.  Oh, well.

But maybe this discussion should be in the nnimap list...
