Hi Nurullah, Firstly, thanks for your reply. :-)
i don't actually use Gnus for mail or feeds - i use Mutt for the former and Liferea for the latter, though i'd like to move to Gnus for feeds once HTTP digest authentication support (a sine qua non for me) is stable. However, your post nevertheless put me on the track to the solution to at least one of the issues i mentioned. In checking out the gnus-activate-level variable, i noticed it was set by default to '6', resulting in Gnus doing processing relating to groups i'm not subscribed to! Setting it to '5' made Gnus behave as i'd expect - the time to start up and download new headers from subscribed groups is now /much/ better. :-) Many thanks! Alexis. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
