What does this function do?  I didn't think I read enough newsgroups to
account for this many calls to this function.  Granted the time delay is
minimal, and I'm also figuring that this function needs to be called each
time Gnus is first started, but after that?  Does it need to be called each
time the *group* buffer is called for each newsgroups? (I figured that once
the group buffer was made it shouldn't have to be reconstructed).

I returns the select method a group is read from.  It's just a hash
table lookup with a few `if's thrown in.

It's called each time Gnus requests *anything* from a backend, pretty
much.
