But that's only when you want to mark a complete newsgroup as Read. 
 However, that's not what I need, or want, to do.  Sorry for any

I was referring to articles highlighted thru click-drag (or it's 
keyboard counterpart shift-arrow).  Similar slowness occurs when 
adding articles to the save queue.
