Alberto,

thank you for the comments.

Some people on the 'ding' mailing list (which is the main vehicle for
Gnus development) have commented that nnfolder is much slower with
CVS Emacs than with the older releases.  Could this be part of the
problem?

Also, is it possible for you to use the CVS version of Gnus, so we can
debug this problem against the latest version of spam.el?

Thanks again
Ted
