Just building the summary for that many articles will take a
considerable amount of time, I think.
The usual way to handle this, is that you only see unread articles when
you enter a group.
Then the newsreader only needs to fetch the articles that have arrived
since you last entered the group, rather than everything.
(And when you subscribe to a group, you usually start by catching up -
i.e. marking all the old articles as read.)
For comparison, Thunderbird suggests to get the newest 500 articles when
entering a group for the first time; sort of the same thing.
Best regards,
Adam
