This is a known issue with Gnus 5.10.6, discussed here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/56080
Fortunatly, recent CVS versions of Gnus have fixed this. You can check
out this branch with:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co -r v5-10 gnus
or, if you are using Debian, is now available in the latest builds
available in the unstable dist.
Another thing. If you've set gnus-fetch-old-headers to t (which I do),
this can considerably slow things down (though it's usefulness far
outweighs this, IMHO).
