One of the differences I see with the latest version of Gnus is that
accessing Gmail over imap+tls now downloads a lot more data for the
groups:

% nnimap read 0k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please wait)
% nnimap read 27k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please wait)
% nnimap read 123k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please wait)
% [...]
% nnimap read 21163k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please 
wait)
% nnimap read 21243k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please 
wait)
% nnimap read 21272k from imap.gmail.com (initial sync of 129 groups; please 
wait) [3 times]

The next time I start Gnus it tries to do an 'initial sync of 129
groups' all over again, and this delays startup time a lot.

This may be an artifact of my local configuration.  I'll try to clean it
up and post a copy here.
