If you run Emacs on a machine locally, and get your news from a machine over some very thin strings, you want to cut down on the amount of data Gnus has to get from the NNTP server.
gnus-read-active-file
nil
, which will inhibit Gnus from requesting the
entire active file from the server. This file is often v. large. You
also have to set gnus-check-new-newsgroups
and
gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups
to nil
to make sure that Gnus
doesn't suddenly decide to fetch the active file anyway.
gnus-nov-is-evil
nil
. If not, grabbing article headers from
the NNTP server will not be very fast. Not all NNTP servers
support XOVER; Gnus will detect this by itself.
