Same here:

     17     583 .newsrc
     13   52594 .newsrc.eld
     30   53177 total

If you take a quick look at .newsrc.eld, you'll notice that it keeps
track of a lot of things:

killed newsgroups
various marks for mail groups
server lists
topic lists
gnus formats

Diets don't work, just feed your .newsrc.eld responsibly :-)
