After reviewing an old thread, I was able to confirm that the
compression algorithm used to cut the size of the .agentview files is
actually resulting in a noticable performance hit.  I've updated
gnus-agent.el in CVS to set the uncompressed format as the default.
After updating to this version, you'll need to open a group once to
update its .agentview file to the uncompressed format.  You should see
better performance on the second time that you open the group.

In my case, we're only talking about .85 seconds for the worst case.
However, this time is proportional to the active size of a group so
your times could be higher.
