No, I only subscribe to about 75 groups, but the news
server I am using has that many groups available.

Very possible. Has the gnus behaviour changed in this respect, earlier
it seemed to only do that for the groups one actually subscribes to?

This message is posted from different machine (and different gnus
version, emacs-23.1-25.el6), with this combination there is no such
slowness, although there are 51516 groups on the server.
