No.  So in September 0.14 they're all interned in
`gnus-active-hashtb', which is a hash table where most the group name
symbols already exists, so this should be a majorish improvement.  If
you list 5000 groups, you would get 5000 new symbols interned in
September 0.12.

Yup.  The menus are created even when `menu-bar-mode' is nil, which is
a bug, I guess.  Fix in 0.15.  But that means that the menus won't
appear as advertised if the user toggles `menu-bar-mode' a lot...
