If you want to read say 40 message and mark all older as read: Enter
the group with `40 RET' and read the messages. Quit the group with
`q'. Put the cursor on the group again and hit `C' (<menu-bar> <group>
<catch up all articles>). This will mark all articles as read.

Maybe you'll find suggestions in the Gnus manual (search for »slow«?),
in the archives or on <URL: http://my.gnus.org/>.
