One thing I've heard a lot is that it's annoying to wait 5 minutes for
gnus to finish reading in a huge group or something.
Of course Gnus could be rewritten to do potentially lengthy stuff in the
background (and that's what usually happens with such things ... e.g.,
"M-x man"), but it's probably not easy, and in many cases not even
desirable -- when the wait is short, I think it's less confusing for the
user for such actions to be synchronous.
