Wow, Kai, thanks for the input, but my problem is quite something else
entirely. My gnus does not have a speed problem, but "runs away" in the
sense that it run and runs without managing to get articles and so can't
stop. 

Since pan runs ok, it's not a problem at the server end. I didn't change
configuration (~/.gnus), and so its not that gnus can't poll the server.
The flickering DSL modem lights suggest that either I'm querying the
server without results, or, as seems more likely, the file headers are
downloaded, but not saved or registered as downloaded. I don't know where
to take it from here. No messages in /var/log/messages.
