True.  If I run Gnus in an emacs process started on the server where
my home directory resides, the respons is acceptable.

But I will in the future occasionally even want to access nnml folders
over ftp connections, so I would like expiry to be as efficient as
possible without juggling disks around.

Hm... how about having a Gnus daemon do expiry every night, and not do
expiry on exiting groups?  Has anyone done this?  Does anyone have a
cookbook receipe they would like to share?
