Things just hang often, requiring me to use C-g to interrupt, or to quit gnus/emacs and restart. When it hangs there seems to be a lot of activity on my DSL modem, but I can't tell what Gnus is doing since there are not messages. Sometimes is hangs when it says it's reading the active file, but then I set gnus-read-active-file to nil. Sometimes it hangs when trying to move to the next article, and then when I get tired of waiting I press C-g to interrupt, press space to read the article, and I get the message about openning a connection, and the article comes up. My gnus-use-article-prefetch was only 4, so it should have prefetched quickly. I then gave up and set gnus-asynchronous to nil, just so I could get some news reading done. But it is still flaky at times. I've also set nntp-buggy-select to t. I don't know if it's a problem with the Earthlink servers, with Cygwin, or Gnus itself.
