I can see why it would take longer time to start up the first time without the .newsrc.eld file, but once it has been created, things should go back to normal. Perhaps setting `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server' will help? > I'm really not too interested in new newsgroups (I can't keep up with > what I read now), so I've put the options line: > > options -n !adass.all !alt.all !aus.all !bionet.all !bit.all !biz.all !boulder.all !can.all !clari.all !comp.all !courts.all !ctdl.all !cu.all !csu.all !csn.all !co.all !dc.all !es.all !francom.all !info.all !ieee.all !misc.all !news.admin !rec.all !vmsnet.all !zer.all !fr.all !fj.all !pubnet.all !psi.all !vax.all !de.all !k12.all !talk.all !sci.all !soc.all !trial.all > > in my .newsrc file.

The `gnus-newsrc-options' variable should hold the options while Gnus is running, so you could check that one. options -n !all gnu.all is perhaps a better way to say "ignore all hierarchies except the gnu hierarchy", though. -- "Yes. The journey through the human heart would have to wait until some other time."
