Shorter time to wait to see the browse groups (upon typing ^). I am not sure what you mean here, as when I type ^ I get the list of servers. If I then select one, it downloads the active file, which I really don't want as it takes 10 minutes. But you can set your default server in .gnus with (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.example.com")) > 2.

I am not sure why it doesn't happen for you, but I get prompted for the number of headers to download, so I just put in some value. I think the default was 200, but you can change the default by customizing the variable: gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles 48 48 being about a screen full for me.
