I am using the following configuration since last 24h.
#+begin_src elisp
;; Threading
'(gnus-thread-sort-functions
'(gnus-thread-sort-by-date))
'(gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
'gnus-gather-threads-by-references)
#+end_src
I confirm that there is no noticeable lag in generating the summary
buffer. However I have yet to verify the order of items.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

In the above snapshot, items are still ordered incorrectly. This could
be because of some other configuration. But I am not sure what. The last
item in the above snapshot cannot be child of the one before it, even
when I am using gnus-gather-threads-by-references. Is the following
configuration correct? I am using this to decorate summary buffer.
